INTRODUCTION
 Mounting- A backing, setting or support something.
 According to some it means attachment and is used
to designate affixing of sections to the slides.
 However, more often it is used to denote placement
of some material over the section before covering it
with coverslips.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
USES OF MOUNTING
 To maintain a high refractive index
 To protect the specimen
 Mounting medium holds the sections in place
between the cover slip and the slide.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
TYPES OF MOUNTING
 Wet mounting
 Dry mounting
 Prepared mount
www.indiandentalacademy.com
WET MOUNTING
 In a wet mount, the specimen is placed in a drop
of water or other liquid held between the slide and
the cover slip by surface tension.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 This method is commonly used to
view microscopic organisms that grow in pond
water or other liquid media, especially when
studying their movement and behavior.
 It is also used to examine physiological liquids
like blood, urine, saliva, semen and vaginal
discharge
www.indiandentalacademy.com
DRY MOUNT
 In a dry mount, the simplest kind of mounting, the
object is merely placed on the slide.
 This mounting can be successfully used for viewing
specimens like pollen, feathers, hairs, nails,skin etc.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
PREPARED MOUNTING
 For histological examination the specimen has to
undergo a complex processing.
 This may involve cutting it into very thin sections
with a microtome, fixing it to prevent
decay, dehydrating , staining it, and impregnating
or infiltrating it with some transparent solid
substance.
 As a result of this process the specimen usually ends
up firmly attached to the slide.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
TECHNIQUE
1.
• Sections to be mounted is taken out from xylene bath
with forceps .
2.
• The ends are first cleaned so that diamond inscribed
number and front of slide where section is placed is
seen.
3.
• Back of slide and excess xylene from the front
(2-3 mm of margin of the section) is wiped off
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4.
• A streak of mounting media is placed on the centre
of slide using a small glass rod
5.
• Slide is placed lengthwise with its edge touching the
edge of the coverglass and inverted over it.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Ooze out at sides of coverglass
• Wipe it with fine cloth dipped in
xylene
Too much
mounting media
• As medium sets it will draw
away from the edges of the
coverglass
If too little or too
dilute mounting
media

MOUNTING MEDIA
www.indiandentalacademy.com
COMPOSITION OF MOUNTING MEDIA
 Mounting media comprise two or three main
ingredients:
1. A base,
2. An antifade reagent and
3. A plasticizer to set.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
THE BASE
 Base is the major determinate of the refractive index
of the medium.
 Natural oils and plastic-base mounting media tend
to be hydrophobic, and therefore require
dehydration of the sample: this may cause
significant shrinkage of tissue.
 Aqueous and glycerol-based media are hydrophilic
and do not require the sample to be dehydrated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
CLASSIFICATION
They fall into two main classes :
 Aqueous media
 Resinous media
www.indiandentalacademy.com
AQUEOUS MOUNTING MEDIA
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Used for sections which is unstained, stained for fat,
metachromatically stained or following
immunofluorescent and certain enzyme
histochemical methods.
 Those methods where the action of alcohol or xylene
would be detrimental to the stained preparation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
AQUEOUS MOUNTANTS
Three types:
 The syrups
 Gelatin media
 Gum arabic media
www.indiandentalacademy.com
GLYCERINE JELLY (RI-1.47)
 Useful for making mounts of water organisms,
algae, protozoa, etc.
 Glycerol jelly according to Kisser is commonly used
to preserve pollen samples.
 It is used as standard mountant for fat stains.
www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages

Water based avoids need of alcohol dehydration
which possibly deforms the specimens, and other
toxic organic solvents.

Does not shrink.
Disadvantages

Difficulty of mounting the sections

Need to seal the cover slip with nail polish.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
GUM ARABIC
 Apathys medium
 Refractive index 1.52

MOUNTANT IN FLUORESCENT MICROSCOPY
 Fluoro-Gel is an aqueous mounting medium for
preserving fluorescence of tissue and cell smears.
 This unique formula prevents rapid
photobleaching .
 The fluorescence is retained during prolonged
storage at 4ºC in the dark.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
RINGING MEDIA OR SEALANTS
 Mounting media which dry back from the edges
or develop air bubbles should be coated at the
edges of the coverslip with a non-porous ringing
medium.
 When these dry, they are impermeable to water,
and protects glycerin-jelly, for example, from
desiccation and contraction.
 Keeps water out of hygroscopic media like
glycerin.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 It clings to glass and permits use immersion oil
without risking the displacement of the cover
ruining the preparation.
 The term ringing' originated because round
coverslips were then used and the coating
applied in the form of a circle or 'ring‘.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Various ringing media are-
1. Dental or modelling wax
2. Cement such as plastic adhesive (such as
Durofix)
3. Entellan (methyl methacrylate)
4. Nail polish
5. A solvent-free sealant that can be used for live
cell samples is "valap", a mixture
of vaseline, lanolin and paraffin in equal parts.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
RESINOUS MOUNTANTS
www.indiandentalacademy.com
CANANDA BALSAM
 Natural mounting medium obtained from Canadian fir
tree (Abies balsamea).
 Composed of terpenes,carboxylic acid and their esters.
 Optical properties are nearly identical with those of
glass.
 Refractive index 1.52
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages

Permanent slides mounted with canada balsam
have been stored for century and are still useful.
Disadvantages

The specimen must be placed into xylene before
embedding.

Canada balsam darkens with age

It slowly becomes acid because it oxidises xylene
to toluic and phthalic acids

This acidity causes gradual fading of many
stains.

Not cheap

KIRKPATRICK AND LENDRUM’S DPX

DPX, was introduced in 1939 .

Earlier tricresal phosphate was used as
plasticizer.

RI-1.52

COMPOSITION:

Distrene 10g

Dibutylpthalate 5 ml

Xylene 35ml
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 C18H18N2.2Br
 Used in most of the routine mounting procedures.
 Advantage of its use being that it can be easily
stripped off from the sides of coverglass.
 They are not recommended for use with thick
sections as there is a danger of retraction of the
mountant upon drying
www.indiandentalacademy.com
EUPARAL (RI-1.48)
 Semisynthetic mountant
 Invented in 1904 by Prof. G. Gilson, Professor of
Zoology at Louvain University, Belgium.
 Euparal possesses a nice odor due to the natural oils
that are included.
 Commonly used to mount histological sections and
insects.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Sandarac
Eucalyptol
Paraldehyde
Camphor +Phenyl salicylate
= camsal
Advantages Disadvantage
The possibility to directly
transfer sections from alcohol
to euparal without the need
of toxic solvents.
Relatively long drying
time
COMPOSITION
www.indiandentalacademy.com
MOUNTING WITHOUT COVERSLIPS
 Using resin sprays.
 These sprays harden on application and serve as
both mountant and the coverslips.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
MOUNTANT FOR PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY
 A new synthetic resin designed for use as high
refractive index microscopic slide mounting agent
for diatom samples.
 It is a condensation product between napthelene
and formaldehyde.
 RI-1.7
www.indiandentalacademy.com
REFRACTIVE INDICES OF MOUNTING MEDIA
 One, of the important functions of mounting media
is to enhance the transparency of the section.
 Most of the mounting media, therefore, possess their
refractive indices close to that of the glass.
www.indiandentalacademy.com

Mounting 1/certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy

  • 1. MOUNTANTS INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY LEADER IN CONTINUING DENTAL EDUCATION www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES  At the end of the seminar the learner should be able to describe about:  Uses of mounting  Types of mounting  Mountants www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 3. REFERENCES 1. Cellular Pathology Technique ,C.F.A Culling ,R.T Allison,W.T Barr. 2nd Ed. 2. Theory and Practice of Histological Technique ,John D Bancroft , Marlyn Gamble. 5th Ed. 3. Principles and techniques in histology and microscopy, Dr.D.R.Singh. 1st Ed. 4. Theory and Practice of Histological Technique ,John D Bancroft , Marlyn Gamble. 6th Ed. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 4. INTRODUCTION  Mounting- A backing, setting or support something.  According to some it means attachment and is used to designate affixing of sections to the slides.  However, more often it is used to denote placement of some material over the section before covering it with coverslips. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 5. USES OF MOUNTING  To maintain a high refractive index  To protect the specimen  Mounting medium holds the sections in place between the cover slip and the slide. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 6. TYPES OF MOUNTING  Wet mounting  Dry mounting  Prepared mount www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 7. WET MOUNTING  In a wet mount, the specimen is placed in a drop of water or other liquid held between the slide and the cover slip by surface tension. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 8.  This method is commonly used to view microscopic organisms that grow in pond water or other liquid media, especially when studying their movement and behavior.  It is also used to examine physiological liquids like blood, urine, saliva, semen and vaginal discharge www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 9. DRY MOUNT  In a dry mount, the simplest kind of mounting, the object is merely placed on the slide.  This mounting can be successfully used for viewing specimens like pollen, feathers, hairs, nails,skin etc. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 10. PREPARED MOUNTING  For histological examination the specimen has to undergo a complex processing.  This may involve cutting it into very thin sections with a microtome, fixing it to prevent decay, dehydrating , staining it, and impregnating or infiltrating it with some transparent solid substance.  As a result of this process the specimen usually ends up firmly attached to the slide. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 11. TECHNIQUE 1. • Sections to be mounted is taken out from xylene bath with forceps . 2. • The ends are first cleaned so that diamond inscribed number and front of slide where section is placed is seen. 3. • Back of slide and excess xylene from the front (2-3 mm of margin of the section) is wiped off www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 12. 4. • A streak of mounting media is placed on the centre of slide using a small glass rod 5. • Slide is placed lengthwise with its edge touching the edge of the coverglass and inverted over it. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 13. • Ooze out at sides of coverglass • Wipe it with fine cloth dipped in xylene Too much mounting media • As medium sets it will draw away from the edges of the coverglass If too little or too dilute mounting media www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 15. COMPOSITION OF MOUNTING MEDIA  Mounting media comprise two or three main ingredients: 1. A base, 2. An antifade reagent and 3. A plasticizer to set. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 16. THE BASE  Base is the major determinate of the refractive index of the medium.  Natural oils and plastic-base mounting media tend to be hydrophobic, and therefore require dehydration of the sample: this may cause significant shrinkage of tissue.  Aqueous and glycerol-based media are hydrophilic and do not require the sample to be dehydrated. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 17. CLASSIFICATION They fall into two main classes :  Aqueous media  Resinous media www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 19.  Used for sections which is unstained, stained for fat, metachromatically stained or following immunofluorescent and certain enzyme histochemical methods.  Those methods where the action of alcohol or xylene would be detrimental to the stained preparation. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 20. AQUEOUS MOUNTANTS Three types:  The syrups  Gelatin media  Gum arabic media www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 21. GLYCERINE JELLY (RI-1.47)  Useful for making mounts of water organisms, algae, protozoa, etc.  Glycerol jelly according to Kisser is commonly used to preserve pollen samples.  It is used as standard mountant for fat stains. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 22. COMPOSITION Glycerin 10gm Prevents cracking or splitting Distilled water 70ml Solvent Gelatin 60ml Key ingredient Phenol 0.25gm bacteriostatic www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 23. Advantages  Water based avoids need of alcohol dehydration which possibly deforms the specimens, and other toxic organic solvents.  Does not shrink. Disadvantages  Difficulty of mounting the sections  Need to seal the cover slip with nail polish. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 24. GUM ARABIC  Apathys medium  Refractive index 1.52  Used when an aqueous medium of higher refractive index is required  Useful for fluoresecent microscopy www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 25. COMPOSITION CANE SUGAR 50GM ANTIFADE AGENT DISTILLED WATER 50ML SOLVENT GUM ARABIC 50GM BASE THYMOL 0.05GM BACTERIOSTATIC www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 26. HIGHMAN’S MODIFICATION  Refractive index 1.52  Recommended for use with metachromatic stains www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 27. COMPOSITION GUM ARABIC 20 GM BASE CANE SUGAR 20 GM ANTIFADE POTASSIUM ACETATE 20 GM PREVENTS BLEEDING SODIUM MERTHIOLATE 10 ML BACTERIOSTATIC DISTILLED WATER 40 ML SOLVENT www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 28. FARRANT’S MEDIUM  Refractive index 1.43  More convenient than glycerin jelly for mounting  Disadvantage is takes longer time to set  Air bubbles sometimes form during the setting process www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 29. COMPOSITION GUM ARABIC 50gm BASE DISTILLED WATER 50ml SOLVENT GLYCERINE 50ml PREVENTS CRACKING ARSENIC TRIOXIDE 1gm PRESERVATIVE www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 30. MOUNTANT IN FLUORESCENT MICROSCOPY  Fluoro-Gel is an aqueous mounting medium for preserving fluorescence of tissue and cell smears.  This unique formula prevents rapid photobleaching .  The fluorescence is retained during prolonged storage at 4ºC in the dark. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 31. RINGING MEDIA OR SEALANTS  Mounting media which dry back from the edges or develop air bubbles should be coated at the edges of the coverslip with a non-porous ringing medium.  When these dry, they are impermeable to water, and protects glycerin-jelly, for example, from desiccation and contraction.  Keeps water out of hygroscopic media like glycerin. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 32.  It clings to glass and permits use immersion oil without risking the displacement of the cover ruining the preparation.  The term ringing' originated because round coverslips were then used and the coating applied in the form of a circle or 'ring‘. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 33.  Various ringing media are- 1. Dental or modelling wax 2. Cement such as plastic adhesive (such as Durofix) 3. Entellan (methyl methacrylate) 4. Nail polish 5. A solvent-free sealant that can be used for live cell samples is "valap", a mixture of vaseline, lanolin and paraffin in equal parts. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 35. CANANDA BALSAM  Natural mounting medium obtained from Canadian fir tree (Abies balsamea).  Composed of terpenes,carboxylic acid and their esters.  Optical properties are nearly identical with those of glass.  Refractive index 1.52 www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 36. Advantages  Permanent slides mounted with canada balsam have been stored for century and are still useful. Disadvantages  The specimen must be placed into xylene before embedding.  Canada balsam darkens with age  It slowly becomes acid because it oxidises xylene to toluic and phthalic acids  This acidity causes gradual fading of many stains.  Not cheap www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 37. KIRKPATRICK AND LENDRUM’S DPX  DPX, was introduced in 1939 .  Earlier tricresal phosphate was used as plasticizer.  RI-1.52  COMPOSITION:  Distrene 10g  Dibutylpthalate 5 ml  Xylene 35ml www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 38.  C18H18N2.2Br  Used in most of the routine mounting procedures.  Advantage of its use being that it can be easily stripped off from the sides of coverglass.  They are not recommended for use with thick sections as there is a danger of retraction of the mountant upon drying www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 39. EUPARAL (RI-1.48)  Semisynthetic mountant  Invented in 1904 by Prof. G. Gilson, Professor of Zoology at Louvain University, Belgium.  Euparal possesses a nice odor due to the natural oils that are included.  Commonly used to mount histological sections and insects. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 40. Sandarac Eucalyptol Paraldehyde Camphor +Phenyl salicylate = camsal Advantages Disadvantage The possibility to directly transfer sections from alcohol to euparal without the need of toxic solvents. Relatively long drying time COMPOSITION www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 41. MOUNTING WITHOUT COVERSLIPS  Using resin sprays.  These sprays harden on application and serve as both mountant and the coverslips. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 42. MOUNTANT FOR PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY  A new synthetic resin designed for use as high refractive index microscopic slide mounting agent for diatom samples.  It is a condensation product between napthelene and formaldehyde.  RI-1.7 www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 43. REFRACTIVE INDICES OF MOUNTING MEDIA  One, of the important functions of mounting media is to enhance the transparency of the section.  Most of the mounting media, therefore, possess their refractive indices close to that of the glass. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 44. Name of the media Refractive index Air 1.000 Absolute alcohol 1.367 Glass ( crown ) 1.518 Canada balsam - Solid 1.535 In xylene 1.524 Egg albumin solution 1.350 Glycerine jelly 1.470 www.indiandentalacademy.com
