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

H Schweizer et al. J Neurosci Methods. 1988 Aug.

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.
