In histology, mitochondria can be visualized using various staining techniques and microscopic methods. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provides detailed images of the mitochondrial structure, including the double membrane and cristae. Fluorescent dyes such as MitoTracker can be used to label mitochondria in live cells, allowing for the study of their distribution and dynamics. Immunohistochemical staining can also be employed to detect specific mitochondrial proteins.
