Cargille Meltmount (optical quality) is a series of mounting media which are specifically formulated for use in microscope slide mounting and in other optical coupling applications.

Meltmount Features

• Instant thermal mountants that require "no-oven-time"
• 100% Usable; contains no solvents
• Reversible, thermally, for particle retrieval or re-orientation
• Soluble in toluene for special techniques or clean-up
• Fluid at 65°C, a temperature chosen because it makes permanent mount and protects the majority of specimens from thermal changes
• PCB-Free
• It is a direct replacement for old mountant mediums (Canada Balsam, Aroclor 5442, Naphrax...)

Meltmount	Refractive Index (nD @ 25°C)	Abbe V Dispersion	Description
Meltmount 1.539	1.539	45	Optically similar to Canada Balsam, ideal for mounting many biological specimens without the long drying time of Canada Balsam
Meltmount 1.582	1.582	33	Optical clarity makes it the preferred choice for minimum visible absorption
Meltmount 1.605	1.605	30	Appropriate for mounting asbestiform Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite
Meltmount 1.662	1.662	26	Optically similar to Aroclor 5442, but is PCB-free
Meltmount 1.68	1.680	25	Appropriate for mounting Amosite and Crocidolite asbestos
Meltmount 1.704	1.704	24	Similar to naphrax
