Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The two primary types of microscopy used for viewing mitochondrial form within cells are light microscopy and electron microscopy (Figure 2), and each hold specific advantages for measuring different structural characteristics (Table 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the diameter of the mitochondrial tubules is generally close to the diffraction limit of light microcopy, it is often challenging, if not impossible, to visualize sub-mitochondrial structures or protein distributions using conventional light microscopy.
