DARK-FIELD MICROSCOPY       113
































































                       Figure 7-12
                       Dark-field image of neurons in a section of rat brain. Neurons were labeled with an axon-
                       specific antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. The section was developed with
                       diaminobenzidine. The brown reaction product on the axons appears bright white in this
                       dark-field light micrograph, which only reveals diffracted light components. Bar   100  m.
