Abstract
The Golgi apparatus was a structure first described in 1898 by the Italian neurologist Golgi. The standard technique for differentiating the Golgi apparatus has been by the use of osmium or silver salts after appropriate fixation of the cell, and the most characteristic form for the organelle that has been demonstrated is that of a network. The Golgi apparatus appears to resist a good deal of damage to the cell. The Golgi apparatus has been characterized as being that part of the cell in which the products of secretion are first recognizable microscopically. The Golgi apparatus is composed of paired membranes that are dilated in parts to give the appearance of spheres, but this description of the Golgi apparatus does not satisfy all the various descriptions of the forms it takes in different cells when viewed by the light microscope. The presence of protein has been confirmed in the Golgi apparatus by a number of workers.
