Comments	P.334 right column top paragraph: "Golgi, mitochondria, vacuoles, and vesicles were also identified based on the similarity between their 3D structures and those reported in the literature (O’Toole et al., 2002, Marsh et al., 2004). The reconstruction reveals the 3D structure of all ER (endoplasmic reticulum) domains within this volume at about the resolution of the membrane bilayer (∼4 nm, Crowther relation, primary source)."
