Neurofibrils and the Nauta method.
When the pretreatment stages are omitted, the Nauta method for degenerating axons stains neurofibrils. Under the electron microscope the stain is closely related to neurofilaments. When one uses the comnplete Nauta technique, the stain is specific for mnembrane structures.
