TL;DR
It is evident that methods of specimen preparation other than thin sectioning need to be applied in order to clarify the intricate, fine structure of the neurofibrillar bundles of the leech and to relate properly the neuro fibril bundles to the vertebrate neurofilaments.

It is emphasized that, in addition to transmission of impulses, the organization of neuroneuronal junctions is likely to include other important properties that cannot be ignored when the morphology of synaptic contacts is being considered.

Observed changes in the population of microtubules and filaments within the cytoplasm of maturing axons and astrocytes have been studied during the early postnatal development of rat optic nerves suggest that the Filaments within axonsand astroCytes may be formed by the breakdown ofmicrotubules.

The tips of rat sperm tails were slightly frayed by mechanical agitation, thus exposing the fibrils, which were then studied by electron microscopy after negative staining, and it can be inferred that they possessed considerable mechanical strength.

Three types of fibrillar structure can be seen with the electron microscope in nerve cells of the vental nerve cord of the leech: the neurofibrillsar bundles, the tubules and the tonofibrils.

The negative staining technique has yielded good results with microtubules, permit study of their fine structure at high resolution, and is useful to study spread material after phosphotungstate or uranyl solutions.
