A freeze-drying device was applied to t-butyl alcohol substituted nerve cells, fibers and synoptic terminals in the human cerebellar cortex for a scanning electron microscopic (SEM) study. The present SEM investigation revealed a small flat polygonal cell with many synoptic terminals using a new method. This cell was irregular shaped one, which had not been analyzed yet, but looked like a basket cell. The number of various-sized synapses on this cell wall was more than 32. And fibers were connected with other cells. The fuzziness of the results of measurements in the microfeatures of cells, fibers, and synapses was reported.
