Representative Thick PS-LvSEM micrographs of 20-µm-thick sections after KMnO4/Pb metal staining. a Glomerulus. Overview (upper) of the glomerulus within the renal corpuscle and high-power view (lower) of the podocytes covering the glomerular capillaries with their processes. b Uriniferous tubules. Overview (upper) of the uriniferous tubules beneath the renal capsules (arrowheads) and high-power view (lower) of the microvilli and the exfoliated epithelial cells in the lumen (lower, arrow). c Bronchioles in the lung. Overview (upper) of the bronchioles consisting of ciliated epithelium and high-power view (lower) of the exocrine cells (arrowhead) among the ciliated cells.
