[Scanning transmission electron microscopy of dendritic spines stained by the Golgi method].
Scanning transmission electron microscopy of the dendritic spines of multipolar neurons in the cat inferior Colliculus was achieved on Golgi semi-thin sections. The three basic types of dendritic spines (ST, MS, TH) were identified. Scanning transmission electron microscopy provides a reliable method for a three dimensional view of these structures at high resolution and consequently a more accurate appreciation of their size. In addition, it could prove very useful in the quantitative analysis of the dendritic spines.
