Bielschowsky silver stain showing the processes of basket cells in the cerebellum.

The Bielschowsky technique is a silver impregnation method used in histochemistry for the visualization of nerve fibers, [1] including multipolar interneurons in the cerebellum. [2]

The method is attributed to German neurologist and neurohistologist Max Bielschowsky (1869–1940), [3] [4] [5] who made improvements over the previous method developed by Ramon y Cajal (1852–1934). [6]
