Solution

The correct option is A Glycerine

  • Mounting media are used for making permanent slides as it holds the specimens in place between the coverslip and the slide.
  • Glycerin- Jelly substance used in the mounting of tissues because it keeps specimens free from moisture and other contaminants and because of its high refractive index.
  • This may be necessary to see certain structures. If a lower refractive index is needed, then one should mix some water into the glycerin.
