title: [Identification of the types of muscle fibers in cryostatic sections by using p-phenylenediamine].
abstract: A procedure is suggested for staining cryostat slices with an alcoholic solution of p-phenylenediamine.  The staining is performed after fixing the slices in osmium tetraoxide buffer solution.  By analogy with the histoenzymatic tests the procedure allows a clear-cut differentiation of 3 types of skeletal muscle fibers.  It is also valuable due to its simplicity and rapid data obtaining.
