The ATP of Light
While true GFP-tagged mitochondria require genetic engineering (not exactly homebrew), we can exploit endogenous fluorescence:
- NADH Autofluorescence
- 340nm excitation (UV flashlight $15)
- 460nm emission (blue filter from old 3D glasses)
- Success rate: 68% in fresh spinach chloroplasts (J. Biolumin. 2019)
