Wet Mount Slide Steps
1. Place a sample on the slide.
2.Using a pipette, place a drop of water on the specimen. Then place on edge of the cover slip over the sample and carefully lower the cover slip into place using a toothpick or equivalent.
*This method will help prevent air bubbles from being trapped under the cover slip. Your objective is to have sufficient water to fill the space between cover slip and slide. If there is too much water, the cover slip will slide around. Take a piece of paper towel and hold it close to one edge of the cover slip. This will draw out some water. If too dry, add a drop of water beside the cover slip. Practice this until you get used to it.
Staining Steps
- Prepare a wet mount slide.
- Collect a drop of stain with an eye dropper or pipette.
- Put a drop of stain on an outer edge of your cover slide.
- Place a piece of napkin or paper towel against the opposite side of your cover slip, right up against the edge. This will help draw the stain under the cover and across the specimen.
- You may need to add another drop to ensure complete coverage.
- The slide is now ready for viewing.

Why steam heating is done in acid fast staining and not heat fixing?
Actually, both methods are used during the staining procedure (steam & heat fix). Initially, the organism is heat fixed to the slide to prevent the organism from being washed off during subsequent steps. Later in the procedure, the slide with the heat fixed organism is steamed to make the cell wall a little more penetrable - allowing the stain to enter the cell wall.

No, the microorganism needs to be heat fixed onto the slide so it doesn't wash away with all the wash steps. The wet part refers to the liquid that is placed on the fixed cells before the cover slip is put on.
