Gap and/or tight junction?

edit

The largest most distinct 5 layered structure in the photo is a gap junction, presumably that is why the image is named gap junction. But the description emphases is on a tight junction. Tight junctions are difficult to photograph in thin sections and there may be a bit of one below the gap junction to the left in the same membrane. This is confusing for people using the image.
