Fig. 7. Imaging of mitochondria in permeabilized myocardial fibers after extraction of myosin (ghost fibers) by membrane-potential-sensitive probe teramethylrhodamine ethyl ether (TMRE). (A) Ghost fibers in the presence of 2mmoll^-1 ATP, 2mmoll^-1 malate and 5mmoll^-1 glutamate (concentration of free Ca²⁺ in Ca-EGTA buffer: 0.1 µmoll^-1). (B) The same ghost fibers after addition of calcium chloride (final concentration of free Ca²⁺ in Ca-EGTA buffer: 1.0 µmoll^-1). No structural changes were seen. The same result was obtained for a free Ca²⁺ concentration of 3 µmoll^-1_.
