Enzymes are considered to be the biological catalysts that control the rate of chemical reactions in bone as well as in other tissues. Definitive study of enzymes in hard tissues by means of routine biochemical procedures presents certain technical problems, since calcifying tissues are nonhomogenous systems containing: several different types of cells and intercellular substance. On the other hand, microscopic histochemical techniques appear to offer excellent possibilities for visualizing and studying specific enzymes of these various cellular components.Until recently alkaline phosphatase was given foremost consideration in histochemical studies. This is due primarily to the impetus given to modern microscopic histochemistry by the original phosphatase technique of Gomori? Application of the aforementioned technique in the study of calcifying tissues has been reviewed in the text edited by Bourne. 2 More recently histochemical localizations of a number of hydrolases associated with the development of hard tissues have been rep~ rted.~
