Adult Rat Kidney HIM Images

A new technique called Helium Ion Microscopy (HIM) gives similar high resolution 3D images, using a scanning beam of He+ ions, and fixed tissue without the coating required for SEM.

  • A - shows a whole glomerulus and neighboring tubules in the renal cortex. Branching processes of the podocytes surrounding the glomerular capillaries can be seen enveloping the capillaries.
  • B - interior of a Bowman's capsule showing long single cilia projecting from each flat parietal epithelial cells. To see these cilia the glomerular capillaries (seen in A) were removed during the cutting process used to prepare the tissue.
  • C - complex interdigitations of the podocyte foot processes.
  • D - numerous filamentous nano-protrusions originating from the major and minor processes and projecting into the urinary space.

Note details for scale bar were not included in original article.
