Fig. 19: QF-DE of isolated and crushed mitochondrion

Isolated and crushed but unfixed mitochondrion shows an extruded crista as well as several cristae remaining next to the disrupted mitochondrial membranes (m). All cristae bear rows of particles along their outside curve (arrows) but also bear a second single row of larger particles (arrowheads) along the inside curve. This second row consists of 13-nm-wide particles spaced at 30 nm center-to-center. EM taken on 8/2/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A TEM. Neg. 31,500X. Bar = 0.2µm. Published in Protoplasma 189:1-8, 1995.
