Fluorescent dye staining of neuromasts in live fishes: an aid to systematic studies

To clearly visualize living motor nerve terminals using fluorescent dyes, Magrassi et al. (1987) evaluated the efficacy of 18 cationic mitochondrial dyes, with 4-(4-diethylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (4-Di-2-ASP) being recognized as the most effective. The process of fluorescent dye stain...

Zusammenfassung:	To clearly visualize living motor nerve terminals using fluorescent dyes, Magrassi et al. (1987) evaluated the efficacy of 18 cationic mitochondrial dyes, with 4-(4-diethylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (4-Di-2-ASP) being recognized as the most effective. The process of fluorescent dye staining of neuromasts in live fish is detailed.
