Our knowledge of chromaffin tissue has increased enormously since
the last comprehensive treatise in this series was published in
1943, chiefly as a result of the development of new histological
methods and technical improve- ments. Less than 40 years have
passed since the review by MAX WATZKA, and essentially only 25
years were required to accumulate an abundance of revolu- tionizing
findings: it was not until 1957 that the carotid body was first
studied successfully with the electron microscope. In 1962 the
technique of formalde- hyde-induced fluorescence was introduced,
yielding a view of adrenergic struc- tures that was completely new
and far better than that obtained with the chro- maffin reaction.
Immunohistochemistry made it possible to localize enzymes
responsible for catecholamine synthesis and to detect peptide
hormones. Autora- diographic techniques were used at the level of
the electron microscope, the method of chemical sympathectomy was
introduced and still other technical improvements could be
mentioned. I myself have been interested in chromaffin cells and
sympathetic neurons since 1965, when I entered the Department of
Histology, University of Vienna, as a medical student. Therefore I
have not followed the developments mentioned above retrospectively,
but have actually experienced them. Anyone who experi- ences such a
development comes to believe that he is well acquainted with the
various results and interpretations and is thus capable of
objectivity.
