An ultrastructural study of osmiophilia in normal human oesophageal epithelium

K R Logan et al. Histochemistry. .

Abstract

Oesophageal biopsies were obtained from patients with normal oesophagi during fibre-optic endoscopy for upper gastro-intestinal symptoms. They were studied with the prolonged osmication technique. The forming face of the Golgi apparatus was demonstrated in the basal and lower prickle cells. These cells also showed osmium deposition in their mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, perinuclear cisternae and lysosomes. The capillary endothelial cells also showed osmium deposition in their Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum.
