Kidney mitochondria, TEM
Kidney mitochondria. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a kidney tubule, showing numerous mitochondria (blue). Mitochondria are a type of organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that provide the cell with energy. They oxidase sugars and fats to produce chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore areas of high metabolic activity, such as the kidneys, contain high numbers of mitochondria as seen here. Magnification: x1, 5000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of kidney mitochondria, as captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image reveals a section of a kidney tubule, where an abundance of mitochondria can be observed in striking shades of blue. Mitochondria are vital organelles found within eukaryotic cells that play a crucial role in providing energy to the cell. Responsible for oxidizing sugars and fats, these powerhouse structures generate chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As such, areas with high metabolic activity like the kidneys exhibit a profusion of mitochondria, as depicted here. With a magnification level of x1,5000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers an awe-inspiring glimpse into the internal workings and respiration processes occurring within our biological systems. The detailed structure and biology showcased in this image shed light on the essential functions carried out by these tiny yet mighty organelles. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, life is teeming with complexity and biochemical wonders. This stunning visual representation not only highlights the beauty inherent in cellular biology but also underscores its significance in understanding human physiology. Captured by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this remarkable photograph invites us to marvel at nature's intricacies while deepening our appreciation for the fundamental building blocks that sustain life itself.
