Abstract
The Nomarski interference-contrast microscope was well suited to observations of transverse thick sections of Epon-embedded peripheral nerves. The quantitative study of myelinated fibers was possible on photomicrographs with a final magnification of .times.500. The induced distorsion was very small compared with conventional bright field and positive phase contrast optics. The comparative study of the same field with the 3 devices allowed a better interpretation of marginal pictures.
