Abstract
In the preparation of motor end-plates for class room work the use of sodium thiosulfate is suggested as a precaution against overstaining and as a regressive measure. Digestion of the connective tissue eliminates the tedious teasing and the possible destruction of the delicate nerve fibers. Mounting in a solution of gum arable makes the slides more durable than glycerin jelly for class use. Whole neuromuscular spindles may be obtained by this method.
