title: A silver impregnation method for reactive microglia in 1 mum epoxy sections.
abstract: A simple rapid ammoniacal silver nitrate impregnation method for reactive microglia in 1 mum epoxy-embedded tissue is presented. This has been applied to demonstrate argyrophilic microglia in stab-wounded rat brain and in the human cerebellar cortex.
