Development of video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast for light microscopy has permitted study of orthograde and retrograde fast axonal transport of membranous organelles in the squid giant axon. This process continues normally for hours after the axoplasm is extruded from the giant axon and removed from the confines of the axonal plasma membrane. The movements of the full range of membranous organelles (30 nm vesicles to 5000 nm mitochondria) are followed in a preparation that lacks a plasma membrane or other permeability barrier. The plasma membrane is not required for fast axonal transport. Action potentials are not involved in the regulation of fast transport. The absence of a permeability barrier surrounding the axoplasm makes this an important model for direct biochemical, pharmacological and physical manipulations of membranous organelle transport.
