Question
a wet mount requires the addition of certain dyes and cell fixatives approximately 12 hours before viewing the specimen.
true or false
true false
A wet mount is a simple preparation where a specimen is placed in a drop of liquid (like water) on a slide and covered with a coverslip. It is used for viewing live, unstained specimens (or with simple stains) relatively quickly, and does not require adding dyes and fixatives 12 hours in advance. Fixatives and long - term dyeing protocols are more associated with other types of slide preparations (like permanent mounts), not wet mounts.
