Kidney glomerulus, TEM C016 / 5831
Kidney glomerulus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a renal glomerulus. At centre left is a capillary with a red blood cell (black) in its lumen. Surrounding the capillaries are podocyte cells, which have interlocking branching processes called pedicles (grey). The function of the glomeruli is to filter waste products from the blood. Filtration occurs through the narrow slits between the interlocking pedicles. After the reabsorption of certain substances elsewhere in the kidney, the liquid is transported to the bladder as urine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a kidney glomerulus in all its intricate glory. Taken using transmission electron microscopy, the image reveals a cross-section of this vital organ's filtration system. At the center left, we can observe a capillary with a red blood cell flowing through its lumen, appearing as an enigmatic black entity against the background. Surrounding these capillaries are podocyte cells, distinguished by their interlocking branching processes known as pedicles. The primary function of these glomeruli is to efficiently filter waste products from our bloodstream. This crucial process occurs through the narrow slits formed between the interlocking pedicles of podocytes. As certain substances are reabsorbed elsewhere in the kidney, any remaining liquid is eventually transported to our bladder as urine. The monochrome aesthetic adds an element of elegance and simplicity to this microscopic view into our excretory system. Every detail captured within this image highlights the remarkable complexity and precision that exists within our bodies at such minuscule scales. Photographed by P. NAVARRO, R. BICK, and B. POINDEXTER from UT Medical School/Science Photo Library, this print serves not only as a visually stunning piece but also as an educational tool for those interested in biology and histology or studying renal functions and disorders related to filtration barriers within glomeruli.
