Abstract
It is shown that mitochondria suspended in distilled water are particularly well adapted to electron-microscopic examination, since the membrane can be loosened from the mitochondrial body by this method. The membrane is composed of short protein fibrils and globular protein molecules, and has a thickness of approximately 200 Å. The body cannot be further illuminated, but parts of the periphery show that the protein is here much more compact. It is assumed that this is dependent upon its lipoid contents.
