title: [Fluorescence anisotropy and myelin structure. II. Azimuth characteristic of surviving nerve fibers].
abstract: The dependence of fluorescence polarization of stained nerve fibres on the angle between the fibre axis and electrical vector of exciting light (azimuth characteristics) has been considered. Evidence is provided that the azimuth characteristics of stained nerve fibres depends on dye molecules adsorbed on the myelin sheath membranes. From the previous calculations it may be concluded that part of the dye molecules are oriented at a small angle to the geometrical axis of the nerve fibre.
