Method X 67 



(f) To mount, when cleared, transfer the sections to the slide, 

 arrange in position, remove the surplus clearing fluid by press- 

 ing several thicknesses of filter paper over them, and mount in 

 balsam as in I, 16, p. 19. 



If the filter paper is of such a quality as to shed lint upon 

 the section, place a piece of porous tissue paper over the sections 

 first, and then press over it the filter paper. Ordinary cigarette 

 paper will do. 



Since it is much better that the decolorizing fluid act upon 

 the section from both sides with equal freedom, it is not prac- 

 ticable to fasten them to the slide. If serial sections are desired, 

 it will be best to proceed as directed under Method XI, p. 73, 

 for serial sections.
