ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF THE AVIAN RENAL GLOMERULUS

Electron Microscopy of the Avian Renal Glomerulus

Electron microscopy of sections of chicken glomeruli shows them to possess a large central cell mass, occupying the hilum and the centre of the glomerulus, and continuous with the adventitia of the afferent and efferent arterioles. The glomerular capillaries form a much simpler system than in mammals and are spread over the surface of the central cell mass. Between the capillaries the mass is l...

Scanning electron microscopy of the podocytes of renal glomerulus.

The renal glomerulus is one of those structures of the body whose morphological understanding has been fundamentally advanced by the advent of the electron microscope. Although it had been suggested by some light microscopists that epicytes possessed cytoplasmic processes covering the glomerular capillaries (ZIMMERMANN, 1915, 1933; v. MOLLENDORFF, 1928; BARGMANN, 1929, 1932), the characteristic...

The Glomerulus in Experimental Renal Disease in Rats as Observed by Light and Electron Microscopy

Nephrotoxic serum disease in rats has been studied by light and electron microscopy from 1 hour to 10 weeks after production of the disease. By light microscopy leucocytic infiltration of the glomerular capillary was observed between the 3rd and 6th hour. At 6 hours an increase in colloidal iron-positive material was observed coating the extraluminal surface of the capillaries. Also at this tim...

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...
