1899 L. F. Barker Nerv. Syst. Constituent Neurones xi. 123 Nissl consequently designates the extremely darkly stained cells as pyknomorphous cells, or cells in which the stainable portions are arranged relatively most closely.
1903 Med. Chron. 39 19 The stained, chromophile, or tigroid substance of nerve cells is regarded as nutritional substance. When it is abundant the cell is described as being in a pyknomorphous condition.
1978 Cell & Tissue Res. 186 559 Pyknomorphous NSC [= neurosecretory cells] are constantly present in all fish.
