title: Transparent Golgi impregnations: a way to examine both details of cellular processes and components of the nerve cell body.
abstract: A method is described by which the precipitate that normally fills impregnated cells in Golgi preparations is confined to a thin and transparent scattering of fine particles that defines the somata and cellular processes. The coating is stable enough to withstand counterstaining and thus makes possible direct evaluation of structural features not only of cellular processes but also of cytoplasmic components.
