Dear confocalists,

Today I came across a new aqueous-based mounting medium recently introduced by EM sciences (in the USA) and Citifluor (in the UK).  They claim it has a refractive index of 1.52, i.e., perfectly matched to oil/glass. 

It is being sold in 3 flavors, CFM-1, CFM-2, CFM-3.  These vary in pH and antifade content.  Sounds promising.  Has anybody tried these?
