Glomerulus Podocyte Electron Micreograph

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

This high magnification view shows a podocyte 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.
