N2  - Clearing removes alcohol during the histopathological preparation of tissues. The customary clearing agent, xylene, can affect the skin, nervous system, and more. Medical professionals, notably those in the histopathology department, are regularly exposed to this toxic substance. Alternative clearing agents must be considered to reduce the harmful effects of using xylene in histopathological preparations. The study seeks to determine the potential of coconut oil as an alternative clearing agent for xylene.
