Answer:

Transmission Electron Microscope would show a mitochondria’s internal structure in the greatest detail

Explanation:

The TEM is used to visualise the internal structure of the cells. This works when an electron beam of light passes through the object or the sample, it shows a clear presence of the organelles inside the cell. The TEM uses the energetic electron which provides the morphological as well as compositional and crystallographic features of the cell. Its maximum potential is about 1 nanometre. Among the most powerful microscope for studying the internal organelles of the cell TEM is one.
