Hot Mounting
Hot mounting provides protection and support of the sample surface, makes it easier to handle the sample, allows for several small samples in one mount and gives uniform sizes for clamping in a sample holder.
Hot mounting provides protection and support of the sample surface, makes it easier to handle the sample, allows for several small samples in one mount and gives uniform sizes for clamping in a sample holder. Hot mounting resins are to be used in a mounting press, where they are processed at high pressure and temperature to very uniform mounts ideal for examination in upright microscopes or other devices requiring specific sizes or shapes. Depending on your requirements, several different hot mounting compounds are available for your hot mounting process from Akasel.

Compression mounting is a very useful mounting technique which can provide better specimen edge retention compared to cast able mounting resins.
Compression mounting resins are available in different colors and with various fillers to improve hardness or conductivity.
Several compression mounting characteristics include:

What is the characteristics of type of consumbales for mounting process?
What is the characteristics of type of consumbales for mounting process?
What is the recommendation consumables to be used in the mounting process?
Phenolic are popular because they are low cost, whereas the diallyl phthalates and epoxy resins find applications where edge retention and harder mounts are required.
The acrylic compression mounting compounds are used because they have excellent clarity.
However, the recommendation consumables to be used in the mounting process are:
