Mitochondria are visible under the light microscope although little detail can be seen.Transmission electron microscopy (left) shows the complex internal membrane structure of mitochondria, and electron tomography (right) gives a three-dimensional view.itochondria under the microscope.

Today, mitochondria are found in fungi, plants, and animals, and they use oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP molecules, which cells then employ to drive many processes. Scientists believe that mitochondria evolved from aerobic, or oxygen-consuming, prokaryotes.n eukaryotes, however, the DNA takes the form of compact chromosomes separated from the rest of the cell by a nuclear membrane (also called a nuclear envelope). Eukaryotic cells also contain a variety of structures and organelles not present in prokaryotic cells.
