Question

While preparing a temporary mount of human cheek cells what happens to the excess of glycerine

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycerin as a mounting medium

Explanation:

Glycerin is used as a mounting medium that is, a medium in which a biological specimen is mounted for preservation or display.

Using mounting medium such as glycerin facilitates ease of handling and storage and prevents damage to the section. The medium protects the section from dust and damage. It also preserves the cell characteristics and quality of the stain. In addition, glycerin has long term chemical stability.

use of excess glycerin leads to the distortion of the specimen cells hence no genuine results could be obtained.
