| • Mitochondria are small, double-membraned organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in generating ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. | | |
| • To observe mitochondria, researchers commonly use techniques such as light microscopy and electron microscopy. Light microscopy allows for the observation of live cells and provides a general overview of mitochondrial morphology and distribution within the cell. | | |
| • Electron microscopy provides higher resolution images and allows for the visualization of the internal structure of mitochondria. It uses a beam of electrons instead of light, which enables the observation of smaller details such as the inner mitochondrial membrane and cristae. | | |
