A silver impregnation method for embedded central nervous tissue of the rat.
A simple and yet reliable silver impregnation method, using potassium ferrocyanide, for demonstrating nervous tissue of the rat central nervous system embedded in paraffin or paraplast is described. The method reported here is compared and discussed with earlier techniques using potassium dicyanoargentate, potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide.
