A microscope slide preparation system includes a microscope, with a stage and an eyepiece, for viewing a specimen; a slide, in communication with the stage of the microscope; a mounting medium, covering the specimen and securing the specimen to the slide, the mounting medium has a supersaturation of gum arabic in distilled water; a measurement of anhydrous chloral; and a measurement of anhydrous glycerin; the supersaturation of gum arabic in distilled water prevents the anhydrous chloral from converting into chloral hydrate, thereby reducing safety hazards associated with the production of chloral hydrate; and the lack of excess water and chloral hydrate in the mounting medium prevent crystallization formation on the slide, allowing for clear viewing of the specimen.
L'invention concerne un système de préparation de lame de microscope comprenant un microscope, muni d'une platine et d'un oculaire, permettant de visualiser un échantillon ; une lame, en communication avec la platine du microscope ; un milieu de fixation, recouvrant l'échantillon et fixant l'échantillon à la lame, le milieu de fixation présentant une sursaturation de gomme arabique dans de l'eau distillée ; une mesure de chloral anhydre ; et une mesure de glycérine anhydre ; la sursaturation de gomme arabique dans de l'eau distillée empêche la transformation du chloral anhydre en hydrate de chloral, ce qui permet de réduire les risques de sécurité associés à la production d'hydrate de chloral ; et l'absence d'excès d'eau et d'hydrate de chloral dans le milieu de fixation empêche la formation d'une cristallisation sur la lame, ce qui permet une visualisation claire de l'échantillon.
