Kidneys were perfused with a high concentration of polyethylenimine (PEI) and post-fixed in phosphotungstic acid and osmium. The extent of the endothelial glycocalyx and fenestral plug is clear (large arrows). Note also the podocyte glycocalyx (arrowheads) and GBM charges (small arrows), which are strongest at the laminae rarae internae and externae.
