Abstract
Dark-field microscopy improves the optical detection of intraaxonal organelles. In living myelinated nerve fibers of the adult rat and the adult toad, fast (approximately 1 μm/s) somatopetal and somatofugal movement of near-spherical particles was seen. Rod-shaped organelles were also detected in nerve fibers from both the rat and the toad, but these organelles showed no axial motion.Keywords
