Detection of aldehydefuchsin-positive neurosecretory granules in the cells of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the rat.
Application of dark field microscopy to sections fixed with picric acid--formalin and stained with crotonaldehydefuchsin allows the demonstration of neurosecretory granules in the neurones of the suprachiasmatic nuclei of normal rats.
