Popis: The relationship between the optical density of thyroid sections from rats and guinea pigs, their thickness, and the incubation time, was investigated after staining for the enzymes lactate-, succinate-, NAD·H2-, and NADP·H2-tetrazolium reductases, acid phosphatase, and peroxidase. Analysis of the distribution curves of the optical density values showed that the requirements of photometry are best satisfied by sections 10μ thick with a density of 0.2–0.6 unit. The conditions under which the quantity of dye in thyroid sections increases as a linear function are described.
