Mitochondria are vital organelles responsible for energy production and they undergo dynamic morphological changes influenced by the cell’s metabolic state. Mitochondrial membrane potential is an essential component in the process of energy storage in the cells. The membrane potential plays a crucial role in the functioning of mitochondria, and it can influence mitochondrial velocity through various mechanisms. Here we report correlation studies on the mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells using our home-built sMx-SPIM imaging system. The mitochondria are tracked manually by a self-developed algorithm to find the speed. The speed of mitochondria was determined by targeting mitochondria stained with MitoTracker Deep Red CMXRos dye and measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential was done by tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM). Experimental studies were conducted on mammalian cells in alive conditions, and results are provided.
