Importing mitochondria |

|---|---|---|
| Proximal to QD | Distal to QD | |
| 10.7±2.8 nm | 10.8±2.4 nm | 10.9±3.5 nm |
The average distance between the outer and inner membranes (measured centre-to-centre) was calculated in proximity to and distal to QD605 for the importing (+b2Δ-DHFRbiotin; +QD) and non-importing (−b2Δ-DHFRbiotin; +QD) mitochondria. n=42 from the six mitochondria taken at higher magnification with the K2 camera in each case.
