Mitochondria Swelling. Mitochondria scatter light in cells and tissue at visible wavelength (λ=540 nm). Simple optical transmission measurements are sensitive to changes in mitochondria intactness during the preparation. Majority of mitochondria during the preparation did not swell in this test as the absorbance did not dramatically change (ΔA540nm = 0.05).
