Transmission electron micrograph showing the ultrastructure of a normal human striated skeletal muscle fiber. Regularly arranged intramyofibrillar mitochondria (M) are aligned between the myofibrils, with clear sarcomere organization visible including A-bands, I-bands, and Z-discs. Magnification x25,000. (human (skeletal muscle biopsy); Figure 2.)

H&E (top left) and Gomori trichrome stain (top right) of human skeletal muscle showing normal morphology — well-defined polygonal fibres with peripheral nuclei, no significant fibre size variation or necrosis. NADH and COX-SDH stains (bottom) show mitochondria distribution. Biopsy from a child with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (TCF4 mutation); H&E and Gomori morphology reported as normal. (human (child with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome/TCF4 mutation; normal H&E morphology); Figure 2.)
