Mitochondria
& Electron Transport - An animated introduction to the mitochondria
which goes into some detail on its chemical structure and function.
Wikipedia Mitochondrion
Entry - A rather comprehensive overview of information on the
mitochondria, complete with academic sitations and some diagrams. Still,
bear in mind that this is a Wikipedia article, and ultimately isn't
concidered an academically reliable source.
The
Electron Microscopic Atlas - The mitochondria page from the
EMA, with a wide range of E.M. images from various types of cells.
Rat
Liver Mitochondrion Movie - This site provides several movies
of a rotating 3D model of the membranes in a rat liver mitochondrion.
Mitochondrion
Reconstructed by Electron Tomography - A page with a great deal
of multimendia representing 3D reconstructions of mitochondria.

These are two paintings inspired by mitochondria
by biological artist Udra Noel. A number more, as well as other
cell-biologically themed art, can be viewed on her website here.
