Figure 3. Serial imaging and 3D reconstruction using the carbon-based conductive resin and SBF-SEM.

An image at low (a) and high (b) magnifications and 3 dimensional reconstructions of glomerular capillaries (d,e, various colors) and Bowman’s space (d,e, gray color) obtained from the mouse kidney embedded in conductive resins clearly showed cellular processes (b, arrowheads) and basement membranes (b, arrows). Bars: 5 μm.
