All thesevaried changes can be studied best with the acid fuchsinmethod ; in Weigert preparations, the whole pathologicalcell mass takes up the stain deeply, and it is not alwayseasy to distinguish the nucleus and cell-body. Glancingthrough the sections, you will also observe that a few ofthe cells turn their apices downward instead of upward,thus exhibiting a change to which Bruckner refers as oc-curring in his case of tuberous sclerosis and to which nopathological significance is to be attached. Plate III. exhibits these changes under a very muchhigher power. In some cells a partly normal and a partlypathological charact
