Many of you have asked about how CureMount and CrytalMount differ.

CrystalMount is excellent for aqueous mounting.

CureMount is a UV curable mounting medium for DEHYDRATED sections. The big
advantages are that the slide is "dry" in 20-30 sec. and ready to be filed
and the refractive index of the cured medium matches perfectly the
refractive index of the dehydrated section. This results in heightened
clarity of staining when viewed in the microscope.

Hope this makes things clearer(no pun intended)
