Myelinated nerve fibers of the human abducent nerve were analyzed with a new staining method that permits simultaneous observation of the axon and surrounding myelin sheath. The following equipment was employed for the measurements: an image-analyzing digitizer, a microscope equipped with a drawing tube (or camera lucida), and a computer for data storage and statistical analysis. The numbers, transverse areas, and circularity ratios of axons were measured in 10 human abducent nerves. The average number was 1,997 with a definite decrease with age, and the average area was 3.90 micron 2.
采用一种新的染色方法对人展神经的有髓神经纤维进行分析，该方法可同时观察轴突和周围的髓鞘。测量使用了以下设备：图像分析数字转换器、配备绘图管（或摄像目镜）的显微镜以及用于数据存储和统计分析的计算机。在10条人展神经中测量了轴突的数量、横截面积和圆度比。平均数量为1997条，且随年龄有明显减少，平均面积为3.90平方微米。
