a Correlative light microscopy and PS-LvSEM images of the renal corpuscle. The high-power view shows the processes of podocytes (arrowhead) in the glomerulus. b Thick PS-LvSEM micrographs of the bronchioles. Note the three-dimensional cell/tissue architectures in 20-µm-thick sections consisting of ciliated cuboidal cells and exocrine cells (arrows).
