Golgi complex beads are 10 nm particles arranged in rings on the smooth forming face of the Golgi complex that stain specifically with bismuth in arthropod cells. In vitro experiments with biological molecules spotted on to cellulose acetate strips indicated that bismuth bound to the beads through phosphate groups. We could detect a weak phosphorus signal from the beads using a new technique called electron spectroscopic imaging that is capable of very high spatial resolution (0.3-0.5 nm) and sensitivity (50 atoms of phosphorus). Detection was not obscured by tissue staining with bismuth or uranyl acetate of by using an inorganic buffer (Na cacodylate). Localization of phosphorus was greatly improved by using colour-enhanced computer pictures of the electron spectroscopic images and quantitating the images. The results indicate that the phosphorus content of the beads is large enough to account for their bismuth reactivity.
