Microhistological fecal analysis is an important technique for investigating herbivore diets.The conventional mounting technique uses Hoyer's mounting medium to seal the plant fragment to the slide.

粪便显微组织分析法是研究食草动物食性的主要方法，其常规装片技术需要使用Hoyer's装片介质对植物碎片进行封片，而Hoyer's封片液的粘性易导致植物碎片在装片过程中发生卷曲和重叠，影响植物碎片的识别效果。
