Abstract
An aqueous tissue clearing solution for use in making biological tissues transparent is provided. The aqueous tissue clearing solution is selected from the group consisting of dimethyl sulfoxide, diatrizoate acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, glucamine, β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, sodium diatrizoate, and derivatives of polyoxyalkalene. The aqueous tissue clearing solution is used to make tissue transparent for viewing through microscopy.
