We found a low-molecular-mass, fluorescent dye, Calcein blue am ester (CB), that labels terminal Schwann cells at neuromuscular junctions in vivo without damaging them.

Terminal Schwann cell bodies and processes were stable in their spatial distribution over these intervals, with processes that in most junctions were precisely aligned with motor nerve terminal branches.
