Abstract

THEORIES of the mechanism of staining of rerve fibres by impregnation with silver solutions have at various times been based on adsorption, and on the stoichiometric combination of the silver and the protein. It seems most probable in the light of recent work on protein - metal complexes1 that the combination is stoichiometric, and the following investigation appears to support this view.
