Wet mounts are a type of slide preparation where the specimen is suspended in a droplet of liquid (often water) on the slide. While some microscope slides do require the use of dyes and fixatives, that is not the case for a simple wet mount. Any necessary additions such as dyes or fixatives are often applied right before viewing, assuming they're used at all.
