The aim is to investigate the structural organization of mitochondria using electron microscopy.
Utilized electron microscopy to examine sectioned animal mitochondria across different species and cell types.
Identified key structural components, including limiting membranes and internal cristae.
Mitochondria consistently showed a limiting membrane and a structureless mitochondrial matrix.
Cristae mitochondriales were observed as internal ridges that are often perpendicular to the organelle's long axis.
