1A2-4 Successively higher magnification images of this sural nerve show a well maintained population of axons in the absence of ongoing axonal degeneration. There is a unimodal distribution in the diameter of myelinated axons most consistent with the small (3-4 microns) myelinated axon population of adult nerve.
