Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) imaging technique combining array tomography and osmium impregnation methods. This novel method was applied to analysis of the 3D shape of the entire Golgi apparatus, which exhibits a spatially complex structure. The results clearly demonstrate that complete Golgi apparatus structures are both diverse in shape and cell type-dependent, with each apparatus appearing as a single mass located within a large cytoplasmic region. In addition, morphological changes of the Golgi apparatus were analyzed in gonadotropes before and after castration by correlative light and scanning electron microscopy paired with a combination of immunofluorescence imaging and osmium maceration methods.
