โœฆ Synopsis

As the result of a previous study many laboratories have used XAM neutral medium-improved white mounting medium in textile fibre examination for more than 20 years. Due to European Directive 98/79/EC, XAM is no longer available and an alternative needed to be found. A list of desirable properties was formulated and a number of mounting media were tested against this. Entellan New was identified as the best mounting medium, and performed similarly to XAM in all aspects.

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

The susceptibility of cut slopes to landsliding can be reduced in certain circumstances by the establishment of a vegetation cover. However, the hydrological implications of allowing a cover to develop may offset the mechanical benefits of soil reinforcement by roots. The balance between hydrologica
