With the development of new specimen preparation techniques and improvements in instrumental resolution, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) became an effective means of studying the three-dimensional organization of the Golgi complex. When specimens prepared by the osmium-DMSO-osmium method are observed with high-resolution SEMs, cis-most cisternae of Golgi stacks appear as sieve-like plates with many small perforations. In some cell types, larger fenestrations are also present. The trans-most cisternae showed a fenestrated or retucular pattern. At the trans-side of Golgi stacks, distinctive structures, such as a well-developed tubular plexus or a single widely extended cisterna, are observed in some types of cells. In lacrimal gland cells, Golgi stacks are linked by an irregular network of anastomosing branches extending throughout the cytoplasm. In these cells, the piled cisternae seemed to be connected to each other either directly within the stack or via cisternae of other stacks. Connections between Golgi stack and rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) were often found in our SEM observations. In nerve cells, interconnecting tubules arise from the rough ER and most often fuse with the rim of the cis-cisternae of Golgi stacks.

“…The precise characteristics of the DM of EGT have not yet been specified in the literature. Direct membrane continuities between the ER and the GC have been described many times (Flickinger, 1969, 1973; Claude, 1970; Maul and Brinkley, 1970; Bracker et al, 1971; Holzman, 1971; Morre et al, 1974; Franke and Kartenbeck, 1976; Novikoff and Yam, 1978; Uchiyama, 1982; Broadwell and Cataldo, 1983; Sasaki et al, 1984; Lindsey and Ellisman, 1985; Williams and Lafontane, 1985; Lockhausen et al, 1990; Krijnse-Locker et al, 1994; Sesso et al, 1994; Mironov et al, 2017; also reviewed in Mironov and Pavelka, 2008). These observations were based on high voltage electron microscopy (Lindsey and Ellisman, 1985), scanning electron microscopy (Tanaka et al, 1986), three-dimensional reconstruction of serial sections (Sesso et al, 1994), functional analysis of transport (Krijnse-Locker et al, 1994), and electron microscopy tomography (Ladinsky et al, 1999).…”

Intracellular transport is one of the most confusing issues in the field of cell biology. Many different models and their combinations have been proposed to explain the experimental data on intracellular transport. Here, we analyse the data related to the mechanisms of endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi and intra-Golgi transport from the point of view of the main models of intracellular transport; namely: the vesicular model, the diffusion model, the compartment maturation–progression model, and the kiss-and-run model. This review initially describes our current understanding of Golgi function, while highlighting the recent progress that has been made. It then continues to discuss the outstanding questions and potential avenues for future research with regard to the models of these transport steps. To compare the power of these models, we have applied the method proposed by K. Popper; namely, the formulation of prohibitive observations according to, and the consecutive evaluation of, previous data, on the basis on the new models. The levels to which the different models can explain the experimental observations are different, and to date, the most powerful has been the kiss-and-run model, whereas the least powerful has been the diffusion model.
