Abstract
Though unmyelinated fibers predominate axon counts within peripheral nerves, they are frequently excluded in histomorphometric assessment as they cannot be readily resolved by light microscopy. Herein, we demonstrate stain-free resolution of unmyelinated axons in Sox10-Venus mice by widefield fluorescence imaging of sciatic nerve cryosections. Optional staining of cryosections using a rapid and nontoxic myelin-specific dye (FluoroMyelin Red) enables robust synchronous resolution of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers, comprising a high-throughput platform for neural histomorphometry.
