A silver impregnation method for motor and sensory nerves and their endings in formalin-fixed mammalian muscles

Schweizer, Hermann und Kaupenjohann, Heike (1988): A silver impregnation method for motor and sensory nerves and their endings in formalin-fixed mammalian muscles. In: Journal of Neuroscience Methods, Bd. 25, Nr. 1: S. 45-48

Abstract

A silver impregnation method is described which shows motor and sensory nerves and their endings in formalin-fixed mammalian muscles. The method works with the same reliability on flattened muscle pieces as well as on frozen sections. Large nerve bundles, myelinated and non-myelinated single axons, and terminals impregnated by this method stand out black against a light brown background.
