EFFECTS OF IONIC STRENGTH OF IMMERSION MEDIUM ON THE STRUCTURE OF PERIPHERAL NERVE MYELIN

A study of the effects of hypertonic solutions on the structure of peripheral nerve myelin reveals an expansion rather than a contraction of the layer spacing. This suggests the absence of "free" water between the myelin layers. Hypotonic solutions bring about a change in radial repeat pe...
