[Histonet] Re: benzyl benzoate clearing agent

[Johnson, Teri]

Corazon,
 
I am marginally familiar with using BABB (mixture of benzyl
alcohol/benzyl benzoate) as a clearing agent for whole mount embryos,
and a quick google search for this yielded this website which uses it in
Xenopus for confocal:
http://froglab.biology.utah.edu/Tools_and_techniques/body_tools_and_tech
niques.html.  There is a link for using it in clearing, and one for
using it for mounting.  Hope this helps!
