Ranson Method)

The Renson method is a method for identifying nervous tissue in histological preparations, which is used to study the nervous system. This method was developed by Russian histologist Nikolai Petrovich Renson in 1877.

The Renson method is based on the use of a silver nitrate solution for impregnation of histological preparations. After fixation in a mixture of alcohol and ammonia, the preparations are treated with pyridine, which causes the formation of silver threads in the nerve fibers. This makes it possible to identify and identify nerve cells and fibers in a histological specimen.

The Renson method is widely used in histology, neurology and neurosurgery to study the structure of nervous tissue. It allows you to determine the number of nerve cells, their location and shape, as well as study the features of the development of the nervous system in various conditions.

The Renson method is now used in combination with other techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, to more accurately study neural tissue and its functions.
