โฆ Synopsis
Thin sections of nervous tissue were viewed at different tilt angles using a transmission electron microscope equipped with a eucentric goniometer stage. In a comparison study of various degrees of tilt, one can observe additional morphological features within synaptic profiles, define subsynaptic structures such as Taxi-bodies, and clearly see the crystalline formation of cytochemical tracers. This study demonstrates the value of tilting thin-sections in the analysis of synapses and other biological material Synapse, Taxi-bodies, Horseradish peroxidase at the ultrastructural level.

## INTRODUCTION. The high temperature oxidation of alumina-and chromia-forming metals and alloys has been studied for many years. Although it is fairly easy to produce TEM cross-sections of the adherent scales formed on alloys containing reactive elements it has proved more difficult to cross-sect
