_Book Features_

The History of Transparent Biological Specimens
Explore how transparent biological specimens entered the scientific stage. Join the author in uncovering why scientists began using this specimen preparation method and the evolution of the process from simple clearing to complex double-staining.

What Exactly is a Transparent Biological Specimen?
Those seeing a transparent specimen for the first time are sure to be filled with curiosity and wonder. Drawing on years of course and interpretive experience, we quickly answer the questions everyone most wants to know about transparent specimens.

Transparent Biological Specimen Preparation Methods
With 10 years of experience in creating transparent specimens, the preparator guides you through the entire process from start to finish. Whether you are a novice or a veteran, you will gain technical guidance or research inspiration.

Before Getting to Know the Organism, See Where It Lives
This book collects transparent specimens from diverse taxa and origins. Let us take you across the globe starting from the organism's habitat—from the ocean to land, deep sea to forests, and dark, humid caves to polar regions of ice and snow. What kind of creatures live in these places?

Savoring the Beauty of Transparent Biological Specimens
From an evolutionary perspective, we begin by observing fish specimens. Beyond marveling at nature's creations and the power and beauty of science, what secret messages are hidden within these transparent specimens?
