Golgi membranes, TEM
Golgi membranes. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a cell, showing the membranes (dark lines) of the Golgi apparatus. The multiple, stacked membranes of the Golgi apparatus are the site of protein synthesis within a cell. They are often clustered in specific areas of the cytoplasm and feature prominently in any cell actively engaged in synthesis of products destined for secretion, such as enzymes. The Golgi packages and transports its macromolecule products in vesicles (dark circles) assembled by the Golgi membrane stacks. Magnification: x15, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Golgi membranes, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The dark lines represent the stacked membranes of the Golgi apparatus, which play a crucial role in protein synthesis within cells. These membranes are often concentrated in specific areas of the cytoplasm and are prominently featured in cells actively involved in producing products for secretion, such as enzymes. The Golgi apparatus not only synthesizes proteins but also packages and transports them using vesicles assembled by its membrane stacks. The image reveals these vesicles as dark circles surrounding the Golgi membranes. With a magnification of x15,000 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers an up-close look at this vital cellular structure. In black and white, this image highlights the structural complexity and beauty found within biological systems. It provides valuable insight into cell biology, cytology, metabolic processes, and protein synthesis. Additionally, it emphasizes the interconnectedness between organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. This remarkable print is courtesy of Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for scientific imagery—showcasing their expertise in capturing stunning visuals that contribute to our understanding of various fields including histology and molecular biology.
