title: Intensifier for Bodian staining of tissue sections and cell cultures.
abstract: Intensification of the standard Bodian silver stain with a poststaining photographic enhancer produces high resolution of fine cell processes such as axonal growth cones. This technique can be used on tissue sections and is especially useful for visualizing individual cells fixed in tissue cultures.
