Summary The relative proportion, ultrastructure and DNA-content of the binucleate cells in the celiac superior mesenteric ganglion of the guinea pig was studied using light and electron microscopy as well as computerized image analysis of Feulgen stained cells. The number of mono — versus binucleate cells was found to vary with stage of development with about 40% of the cells being binucleate in adult animals and 50% in late prenatal stage. No difference in ultrastructure was observed between the nuclei of the two cell types. The binucleate cells contain twice the amount of DNA found in the mononucleate cells.
