TL;DR
Early electron microscope studies of the ciliary epithelium of the rabbit eye reported large numbers of vesicles at the free surface of the non-pigmented cell layer, and they were identified as an unusual "sheeted" form of smoothsurfaced endoplasmic reticulum.

The Journal of Cell BiologyTHE USE OF LEAD CITRATE AT HIGH pH AS AN ELECTRON-OPAQUE STAIN IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
25,027 Citations1963Edward S. Reynolds
The stain reported here differs from previous alkaline lead stains in that the chelating agent, citrate, is in sufficient excess to sequester all lead present, and is less likely to contaminate sections.

A postfixation in osmium tetroxide, even after long periods of storage, developed an image that—notable in the case of glutaraldehyde—was largely indistinguishable from that of tissues fixed under optimal conditions with osmia tetroxides alone.
Stain TechnologyEmbedding in Epoxy Resins for Ultrathin Sectioning in Electron Microscopy
3,312 Citations1960K. C. Richardson, Leonard Jarett +1 more
More rapid than previous techniques, this method gives blocks which do not fracture unduly on trimming and provides sections of soft tissues at 1 μ for phase contrast microscopy, as well as ultrathin sections which cut as easily with glass knives as sections of methacrylate.
The Journal of Cell BiologySARCOLEMMAL INVAGINATIONS CONSTITUTING THE T SYSTEM IN FISH MUSCLE FIBERS
362 Citations1964Clara Franzini‐Armstrong, Keith R. Porter
Structural features favor the conclusion that the T system plays a prominent role in the fast intracellular conduction of the excitatory impulse and the preservation of other elements of muscle fine structure seems to be substantially improved by glutaraldehyde.
The Journal of Cell BiologyTHE NORMAL FINE STRUCTURE OF OPOSSUM TESTICULAR INTERSTITIAL CELLS
264 Citations1961Amy Christensen, Don W. Fawcett
The results of the present study, coupled with biochemical evidence from other laboratories, make it seem highly probable that the agranular endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of the steroid hormones produced by the interstitial cell.
The Journal of Cell BiologyCONTRAST BETWEEN OSMIUM-FIXED AND PERMANGANATE-FIXED TOAD SPINAL GANGLIA
122 Citations1963Jack Rosenbluth
The discrepancy suggests that the serried vesicles seen in osmium-fixed preparations arise through disintegration of plasma membrane invaginations, and do not represent active pinocytosis, as has been suggested previously.
The Journal of Cell BiologyFINE STRUCTURE OF THE CILIARY EPITHELIUM OF THE RABBIT, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO "INFOLDED MEMBRANES," "VESICLES," AND THE EFFECTS OF DIAMOX
64 Citations1963John McD. Tormey
It was found that secretion could be inhibited by a maximally effective dose of Diamox without the occurrence of any detectable structural changes.
