Mitochondrion, TEM
Mitochondrion. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of mitochondria (green/blue) in heart muscle. Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They oxidise sugar and fats to produce energy. Mitochondria have two membranes (blue), a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane. The folds of the inner membrane are called cristae, and it is here that the chemical reactions to produce energy take place. Magnification: 15, 100x when printed 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a mitochondrion, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The vibrant colors highlight the presence of these vital organelles in the heart muscle. Mitochondria are essential components found within eukaryotic cells, residing in the cytoplasm. They play a crucial role in energy production by oxidizing sugars and fats. The image reveals two distinct membranes surrounding the mitochondrion: an outer membrane and an inner membrane with folds known as cristae. It is within these cristae that chemical reactions occur to generate energy for cellular processes. The blue hue emphasizes this unique structure. With a magnification of 15,100x when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look into the microscopic world of cell biology. Its false-colored presentation adds artistic flair while maintaining scientific accuracy. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of the complexity and elegance present within our own bodies. It highlights how even tiny structures like mitochondria contribute to our overall well-being by powering various metabolic activities necessary for life. Whether you're fascinated by biological processes or simply appreciate stunning visuals, this image provides both insight and aesthetic pleasure into the hidden wonders of cellular ultrastructure.
