Mitochondrial inclusions, TEM C016 / 5806
Mitochondrial inclusions. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a mitochondrion showing crystalline inclusions (thick parallel rods) in the intermembrane spaces. These inclusions are characteristic of mitochondrial myopathies (muscle diseases). Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy for a cell. Defects in their metabolism can lead to muscle weakness and exercise intolerance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mitochondrial Inclusions" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the microscopic world of cellular biology. Captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this image showcases a section through a mitochondrion, an essential organelle responsible for energy production within cells. The intricate details revealed in this image are truly remarkable. Thick parallel rods, resembling crystalline inclusions, can be seen nestled within the intermembrane spaces of the mitochondrion. These unique structures serve as characteristic markers for mitochondrial myopathies, debilitating muscle diseases that result from defects in mitochondrial metabolism. As we delve deeper into understanding the complexities of human health and disease, images like these play an invaluable role in histopathology research. By visualizing abnormalities at such a minuscule level, scientists and medical professionals gain crucial insights into the underlying mechanisms behind conditions like muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. The monochrome composition adds to the allure of this photograph while emphasizing its scientific significance. It serves as a reminder that even on such infinitesimal scales, our bodies harbor mysteries waiting to be unraveled by diligent researchers like P. Navarro, R. Bick, and B. Poindexter from UT Medical School's esteemed team.
