title: [Optical study of the sensitive hair (vibrissae) of the Wistar rat using imbedding in plastic resin and staining in paraffin with the usual technics].
abstract: Mystical vibrissae of wistar rat processed in TAAB-Transmit resin R and stained with standard methods are studied from a morphological point of view.

Anatomical, embryological, functional and staining characteristics are discussed.
