Transients pHmito elevations in single mitochondria. (A) Time sequence of F480/F430 ratio images of HeLa cells expressing mito-SypHer showing spontaneous alkalinization transients (arrows) in single mitochondria in different cellular regions. Warm colours denote high ratio values. See also Supplementary Movie S1. (B) Repetitive pH transients in a mitochondrial cluster. Numbered insets show consecutive images and the right-hand panel shows a 30 s scan along the line drawn in inset #1, the time axis running vertically from top to bottom. (C) 3D reconstruction of the line scan image. Numbers correspond to inset panels in B. (D) Calibrated pHmito transient. (E) Histograms showing the distribution of the amplitude, time to peak, and half-life time of 61 independent pHmito elevations.
