Normal Kidney Glomerulus Electron Microscopy. Glomerular filtration membrane48 49. Although optical microscopy has been a vital tool to examine clinical specimens for diagnoses in pathology for decades the optical resolution is constricted by the physical diffraction.
Endothelial and mesangial cells are normal in number. Kidney glomerular diseases such as the minimal change disease mcd and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis fsgs and other nephrotic syndromes are typically diagnosed or confirmed via electron microscopy. In this electron micrograph the capillary loop in the lower half contains two electron dense rbc s.
The surrounding tubules are normal.
Kidney glomerular diseases such as the minimal change disease mcd and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis fsgs and other nephrotic syndromes are typically diagnosed or confirmed via electron microscopy. Show mesangial cell hide. 47 in order to understand better kidney histology we must have in mind that kidney is three dimensional structure non bi dimensional as we see it at microscope 48. In this electron micrograph the capillary loop in the lower half contains two electron dense rbc s.
