We use the Richard Allan mounting media and it works very well.  However,
since it is not compatible with picric acid (can't coverslip Gram stains
with it) I am considering trying Permount.

Subject: mounting media for automatic coverslipper


We are using a Leica automatic coverslipper which we love, and Richard Allan
signature series coverslips.... we have had no trouble for years.  Lately
however we are getting air bubbles under the coverslips about a week after
they have been coverslipped.  What type of mounting media are most of the
Leica users using?  Thanks!
