[Histonet] Xylene substitutes

[V. Neubert]

My hand staining setup contained some commercial naphta mix, which is
comparable to any other petroleum benzine solvant, for dewaxing.

For dehydrating/coverslipping, I used "n-Butyl acetate" a.k.a. "butyl
ethanoate". Coverslipping can be done with any xylene soluble glue.
