✦ Synopsis

Xylene-based permanent mounting media presently used for forensic microscopy of textile fibres suffer from some disadvantages. Six previously untried mountants were evaluated and Phytohistol was selected for further examination. It was colourless, water-soluble, and miscible with water and glycerine, without the health hazards of xylene use. It exhibited no fluorescence when fresh and did not absorb UV light, and is now routinely used for fibre examination in the authors' laboratory.

Los medios permanentes de montaje (soportes) basados en xileno que se usan en la actualidad para la microscopia de fibras textiles tienen varias desventajas. Se evaluaron seis soportes no ensayados previamente y se seleccion6 el Fitohistol para una evaluaci6n posterior. Es incoloro, soluble en agua y miscible con ella y con glicerina y no tiene 10s riesgos para la salud del xileno. No presenta fluorescencia en fresco, no absorbe luz ultravioleta, y en la actualidad se usa de forma rutinaria en el laboratorio del autor.
