cerebellum kalong kapauk. The aim of this study to determine the cerebellum
histology kalong kapauk to complete anatomy information of Indonesia wildlife
animal.
This study used five kalong kapauk that from Central Java. Cerebellum
procesed for histological preparations by paraffin blocks, then cut preparation
piece 12pm then performed Cressyl Violet staining. Staining results were
bbserved using a microscope equipped with digital camera and analyzed in a
description using software Adobe Photoshop CS2, Microsoft ffice excel and
Optilab Image Raster.
Kalong kapauk cortex cerebellar are microscopicaly devided in to three
layer, molecular, piriform, and granuler layers. The diamater stelat cell, basket
cell, Purkije cell, small neuron dan golgy cell are respectivelly 4,64 + 0,54 pm
