SYNOPSIS Electron micrographs of the dictyosomes and acroblasts of the male germ cells of the cricket reveal their ultramicroscopic structure to be comparable to that of the Golgi apparatus of vertebrates. They are made up of two components, namely, double membrane lamellæ and vacuoles. These results suggest that the dictyosomes and acroblasts (Golgi material) are real cellular structures, distinct from mitochondria and homologous to the Golgi apparatus in vertebrate cells.
