Bielschowsky stain

Bielschowsky silver stain showing the processes of basket cells in the cerebellum.

The Bielschowsky technique is a silver staining method used in histochemistry for the visualization of nerve fibers,[1] including multipolar interneurons in the cerebellum.[2]

The method is attributed to German neurologist and neurohistologist Max Bielschowsky (1869–1940),[3][4] [5] who made improvements over the previous method developed by Ramon y Cajal (1852–1934).[6]
