Dear Histonetters,

We have  done the Oil Red O Charukian Method and Oil Red O technique 
from Bancroft & Stevens, 3rd edition - both worked beautifully. Also 
did Toluidine Blue stain combo with the Oil Red O & by itself - all 
stunning results. Did the stains on cryo  -sections of a native 
Australian plant to demonstrate that the 'grainy' bits on the 
underside of the leaves were full of Lipids/fats.
  The PROBLEM we have encountered, is -  no matter what Aqueous 
Mountant we try , our cryosections are covered in microscopic air 
bubbles (have tried to date: BDH/ Aquamount; DAKO /Faramount & 
Glycergel & Ultramount.....even plain ol' Glycerol, (coverslipping 
from DH20/Deionized H20/Tap H2O/Hot H2O/air dried - no H20)....... 
ALL resulted with same problem.
Can someone PLEASE advise what we are doing wrong (???) OR suggest a 
possible answer as we need these results to be photographed ASAP. 
Cheers & THANKS in advance,

Bruce in Melbourne/OZ
