Glomerulus Podocyte Electron Micreograph

Electron Micrograph of the nephron glomerulus showing podocyte and glomerular capillary.

This high magnification view shows podocytes with the interdigitated foot processes (pedicels) that are wrapped around the exterior of a glomerular capillary forming slit diaphragms (SDs).

Scale Bar: 1 µm.

Glomerular filtration barrier - formed by podocytes and the fenestrated endothelium.
