title: Demonstration of neurosecretory substance in previously scanned specimens: adaptation of the Gomori aldehyde-fuchsin method for correlative SEM/TEM/LM histochemistry.
abstract: The Gomori aldehyde-fuchsin (AF) method for selective staining of neurosecretory substance (NSS) has been adapted to tissue previously prepared for both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM). The procedure results in precise correlation of light microscopic (LM) histochemistry with SEM/TEM of the same tissue.
