Mitochondria
Mitochondria in most steroid-secreting cells have tubular cristae rather than shelf-like cristae seen in mitochondria in other cells. As with the shelf-like cristae, tubular cristae are formed by invaginations of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Also prominent in this micrograph is abundant SER, another feature common in steroid-producing cells. Adrenal cortex 40,000x
