The thiocholine (ThCh) and thiolacetic acid (ThAc) methods for the histochemical localization of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinesterases (ChE's) were modified to permit the substitution of aurous gold for copper and lead, respectively, as the capturing agent. The chief advantage of the modifications is that the precipitates formed (AuThCh-phosphate and AuS) have fine, colloidal dimensions and high electron density, thus improving their potential usefulness as electron microscopic methods. By means of selective inhibitors of AChE (10–5 M BW 284), of ChE's ( 10–7 M DFP or 3.10–8 M Nu-683), and of both enzymes (10–5 M DFP or eserine), it was shown that the gold thiocholine (AuThCh) method retains the high specificity of the original ThCh method, whereas the gold thiolacetic acid (AuThAc) method, like the lead ThAc procedure, is considerably less specific. However, the AuThAc method appears to permit finer localization than the AuTuCh technique.

We describe a modification of silver intensification of immunoperoxidase end-product using 1-naphthol (1N) and 1N enhanced by pyronin B after suppressing nonspecific tissue argyrophilia with a solution of penicillamine and merthiolate buffered near neutral pH. This approach facilitates the preservation of a second antigen sequentially labeled in the same tissue section for light microscopic double immunolabeling experiments and also allows retention of ultrastructural detail. Using this protocol, we obtained rapid and uniform silver intensification of somatostatin (SRIF)-immunoreactive (IR) neuronal perikarya and processes in the rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Ultrastructurally, 1N- and 1N-pyronin B-silver intensified reaction product was clearly recognized by the presence of a coarse intracellular precipitate of high electron density. Light microscopic double-immunolabeling studies demonstrated the association between SRIF- and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-IR neuronal systems in the PVN. We propose that silver intensification of 1N and 1N-pyronin B is a useful alternative to standard methods of silver intensification of immunoperoxidase reaction product at both light and ultrastructural levels and may be particularly amenable for double-immunolabeling studies.

150,000 extensive air showers of high electron density have been recorded at an altitude of 2283 meters. Analysis of the data in solar time for a wide range of densities shows no evidence for the large semidiurnal variations previously reported by other groups. A possible explanation of this difference may lie in the different methods of selecting the showers.
