Abstract
The technique involves the use of wax as the mounting medium for palaeontological specimens. A faster and more efficient mounting of specimens is achieved in addition to precise orientation and increased cleanliness of specimens. Following SEM examination, the specimens can be removed from the wax if necessary.
