Summary Tannic acid affects one face of some cytoplasmic membranes causing them to appear  thin in electron micrographs.Trans vesicles of Golgi apparatus, dictyosome-like-structures, headcaps and aerosomes of germ cells, and certain lysosomes all have membranes that appear thin after tannic acid fixation and, in addition, are all characterized as being acid phosphatase positive. Thus, thin membranes appear functionally related and to be associated with cellular components that have lysosome or lysosome-like character. |
