Actually, it is spelled Xylene. How do I know??

Well, I am a physician,retired. When I was "working" I had occasion to
use a microscope under high power with an oil emersion lens. A drop of
oil is placed between the lens and the slide to make contact with both
for proper refraction. Xlene was used to clean the lens after use. Two
ounces lasted me 30 years!! Yes, nasty stuff!
