SINGLE DIATOM MOUNTS Fine microscope slides dedicated to a single species.
All micromanipulated diatoms are guaranteed to be fixed directly to the underside of the custom, optical-quality cover glass - rather than the microscope slide - for maximum resolution and contrast. This is because microscope objective performance drops noticeably as the specimen's distance from the cover glass increases; microscope lenses are designed to be optimally corrected for objects located immediately below the coverslip.
Diatoms are mounted in Diatom Lab’s proprietary high-refractive-index Diatom Cubed mountant. It is unalterable over time and has an R.I. > 1.7, ensuring maximum optical performance. Diatoms are attached to the underside of the cover glass by means of Diatom Lab's unique NANO-ADHESIVE, which is invisible even in phase contrast, darkfield illumination, differential interference contrast (DIC) and oblique illumination! This ensures all the finest Diatom details such as areolae, poroids, striae and so on, are always perfectly clean, regardless of the technique used, with the additional benefit that there are no traces, stains or swipe-marks caused by fixatives typically seen on some older preparations. Our NANO-ADHESIVE is also invisible to scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), and is therefore used to create a clean background for our SEM specimen preparations.

Single Diatom mount. Microscope slide of Cymbella mexicana (Ehrenberg) Cleve 1894 (one specimen).
It is a very suitable species for comparing different contrast techniques, lighting techniques, etc. Comment on the figure on the side: is this image a silkscreen painting by American pop artist Andy Warhol? No, this is a series of microscope images of the same microscopic Diatom photographed using different optical microscopy techniques! Each technique provides a certain level of information. As with all our diatom micromanipulations, our proprietary high-refractive-index Diatom Cubed mountant was used for this microscope slide too This mountant is unalterable over time and has an R.I. > 1.7, ensuring maximum optical performance.
