In my hands, the most reliable technique for demonstrating peripheral nerves
is Kiernan's physical developer method.  [pp. 371-372 of the 3rd edition of

Subject: [Histonet] peripheral axons in soft tissue

Hello Everyone
 
Is there a stain that I can use that will detect peripheral nerve
(axons) in soft tissue.  I have checked around a bit and it looks like
performing a Bodian would work.  I would appreciate any input or advice
on this.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Liz
