Skeletal Muscle EM
Image of muscle sarcomeres shows distinct banding pattern:
- darker bands - A bands (the A band includes a lighter central zone, called the H band)
- lighter bands - I bands. Each I band is bisected by a dark transverse line called the Z-line). Paired mitochondria are on either side of the electron opaque Z-line. The Z-Line marks the longitudinal extent of a sarcomere unit.
Transmission electron microscope image of a thin longitudinal section cut through an area of human skeletal muscle tissue. Image shows several myofibrils, each with the distinct banding pattern of individual sarcomeres.
