Why would use a wet mount?
- To increase the specimens translucency and to make it easier to stain.
- Using a wet mount slide has the tendency to flatten the specimen making it easier to view.
Why is it recommended to watch motility just minutes after preparing the wet mount?
Water currents are due to capillary action caused by temperature changes and drying out. All objects move in a straight line in one direction. Always examine a wet mount immediately, once it has been prepared, because motility decreases with time after preparation.
What is the disadvantage in preparing a wet mount?
