THE literature that deals with the appearance of normal Schwann cells is extensive; it has been reviewed recently by Causey (1960) and also by Robertson (1960), who confined his attention to the cell surface. Schwann cells in normal nerves are always associated with nerve fibres. A proportion of these are myelinated, with specialization of structure at the Schmidt-Lantermann incisures and nodes of Ranvier; others are nonmyelinated. It is known, as a result of light microscope studies, that when a nerve is divided the distal end degenerates while the proximal end produces nerve fibres which grow into the distal stump. In association with this the Schwann cells divide (Abercrombie and Johnson, 1946) but their relationship to these fibres is not fully understood, owing to the relatively low resolving power of the light microscope. An investigation of the effect of nerve section was made therefore with the electron microscope and the results compared with the ultrastructure of normal nerve fibres and Schwann cells.
