Subject: Permount
I've been asked to help "preserve" (represerve?) soil thin section mounts made by epoxying a polyester consolidated soil mass to a glass slide and then covered with a cover slip attached with Permount or Preservaslide (sp?). This is a common technique used for soil micromorphology. The problem is the coverslips, they are all falling off. Has anyone dealt with this problem before? Does anyone know who manufactures Preservaslide? Does anyone know a good, stable alternative to use to reattach the coverslides once we get them off? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
