Abstract: A clearing agent and mounting solution for microscopy is disclosed comprising (a) trichloroethanol, (b) optionally, trichloroacetic acid, (c) optionally, glycerol and (d) optionally, water, where the refractive index of the solution is greater than or equal to about 1.3810. The solution can further comprise a C1-C6 alcohol, other acids, and/or a stain. The solution can also comprise derivatives and/or analogs of 2,2,2-trichloroethanol and/or trichloroacetic acid. Also disclosed is a method of preparing specimens for microscopy comprising (a) applying a specimen to a microscope slide or a cuvette, (b) applying a quantity of the above solution sufficient to mount the specimen, and (c) optionally applying a cover slip. The solution can be used effectively with stains or dyes, and with fresh, partially dry or dried materials, and for temporary or semi-permanent to permanent mounting.

Abstract: A device for practicing and improving a hitter's swing. The device is for use with a ball and bat and includes a support arm and a suspension member having a first end coupled with the support arm and a second end releasably coupled with the ball such that when the ball is coupled with the suspension member, force transmitted to the ball from the bat disengages the ball from the suspension member such that the ball displaces from the batting device.
