Mitochondria
Mitochondria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph of mitochondria (circles). A mitochondrion is a membrane-bound organelle that exists in eukaryotic cells. It converts energy in the form of glucose into ATP. ATP is then used by cells to provide usable energy to drive reactions - for instance to produce kinetic energy in muscles. Mitochondria have a double membrane and their own DNA. Magnification: x50, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of mitochondria, captured through a coloured transmission electron micrograph. Mitochondria are essential organelles found in eukaryotic cells, enclosed by a double membrane and possessing their own DNA. They play a crucial role in converting glucose into ATP, which serves as the primary source of usable energy for cellular reactions. The image reveals numerous circular mitochondria scattered within the cytoplasm, each resembling a tiny powerhouse responsible for fueling life-sustaining processes. With a magnification of x50,000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this photograph offers an awe-inspiring glimpse into the microscopic world that underpins our biological existence. Mitochondria's ability to generate ATP is particularly vital in enabling various physiological functions. From powering muscle contractions to facilitating biochemical reactions throughout our bodies, these remarkable structures serve as indispensable energy factories within every cell. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this scientific marvel with artistic finesse and precision. The vibrant colours and intricate details showcased in this print invite viewers to appreciate the complexity and elegance inherent in even the tiniest components of life itself. Whether you're fascinated by cell biology or simply intrigued by nature's hidden wonders, this photograph is sure to captivate your imagination and deepen your appreciation for the incredible intricacies that drive our physiological processes.
