Abstract
Our triple labelling method allows the AChE and AChR distributions and the nerve endings to be stained in the same preparation. This method which provides a detailed visualization of the synaptic contacts and is capable of revealing a weak AChE activity is particularly valuable in studies of synaptogenesis.
