Acetone works well for pigment extraction. I have had good luck
following Standard Method 10200H by Clesceri, Greenberg, et al.
(1998). This can be found in the "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater", published by the American Public
Health Association.
I also recommend following Johannes and Wiebe (1970) for tissue
removal using a Water-Pik or airbrush.
