Golgi Apparatus, TGN and Trans Golgi-ER: Tilt Series

  • Chapter

  • 147 Accesses

Abstract

The enormous complexity of the Golgi apparatus is easily overlooked when electron microscopic studies are restricted to analyses of single thin sections. Additional studies of semithin and thick sections, analyses of section series, use of eucentric goniometer equipment for controlled tilting of the specimens within the electron microscope, and the introduction of electron tomography into the field of cell biology has tremendously improved the knowledge of the morpho-functional architecture of the Golgi apparatus and its dynamic organisation.
