awesome model of small and large subunits together to represent the mammalian mitochondrial riobosome. I had a bunch of different configurations but Corel DRAW crashed… so here is just one pix from the protein database website linked HERE. I still have problems finding the exact measurement, and also the approximate number of ribosomes per square nm but I will figure it out. At the moment, something around 30nm diameter is what has been estimated, which should be easily visible with TEM. \

I love that electron microscope is still the go-to tool for looking at these structures initially, usually with shadowed or negatively stained preps.
