There are several xylene substitutes on the market you can use for
clearing. This will help with the dryness of the tissue. The substitutes
that I am most familiar with are Propar, Clearite, Sub X and Histosolv.

There is also a great book titled Animal Processing Manual that was
published by NSH and edited by Gayle Callis and Diane Sterchi. This book
has a wealth of information, including many processing schedules for animal
tissue. You can order the book through NSH.
