title: A technique for temporal bone sections using non-decalcified frozen guinea pig cochleas: a study of succinic dehydrogenases.
abstract: We have developed a technique for sectioning temporal bones and have studied non-decalcified frozen guinea pig cochleas to localize succinic dehydrogenases. The technique is simple and practicable. The 6-microns sections used preserve both fine cochlear structure and satisfactory histochemical localization for identifying the succinic dehydrogenases. The technique can also be extended to immunological test, detecting transmitters and investigating enzymes in the cochlea.
