Histofluorescence studies of central monoamines. Comparison of Falck, cryostat and SPG methods.
The aim of the presented paper was to compare the Falck-Hillarp histofluoresce method for monoamines with its cryostat modification and the glyoxylic acid SPG method. The sensitivity and specificity of these methods and also the occurence of unspecific fluorescence is discussed.
