A method for the counting of mitochondria (original) (raw)

This paper presents a novel method for counting mitochondria using the Coulter Particle Counter, which offers a more reliable alternative to traditional light microscope techniques. The study compares the results obtained from the Coulter Counter with those from the established spray drop technique, demonstrating that both methods yield closely comparable results despite the Coulter method exhibiting a slight advantage in counts. The findings suggest that either technique can be effectively employed for accurate quantification of mitochondria.
