TSECs maintain limited fenestrae organized in sieve plates. (a, b) Scanning electron microscopy with sputter coating shows that mHSECs visualized at (a) × 3500 or (b) × 30 000 have numerous fenestrae (arrows). (c, d) Scanning electron microscopy shows that BAECs visualized at (c) × 3500 or (d) × 30 000 lack fenestrae. (e–h) Scanning electron microscopy shows that TSECs maintain a limited number of fenestrae between 100–150 nm, organized in sieve plates (arrows). Panels represent: (e) sputter coating at × 3500, (f) sputter coating at × 30 000, (g) carbon coating at × 20 000, and (h) carbon coating at × 50 000.
