Kidney podocyte cells, SEM
Kidney podocyte cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of podocyte cells on the surface of a kidney glomerulus. Podocytes possess branching, foot-like processes (red/brown). The processes from adjacent podocytes interweave, forming narrow slits that cover the glomerular membrane. The glomerulus is a tight ball of capillaries (small blood vessels) that filters the blood. Fluid is filtered from the blood as it passes through the slits formed by the podocytes into the cavity of the surrounding Bowmans capsule (not seen). After the reabsorption of certain substances, the fluid is transported to the bladder as urine. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of kidney podocyte cells, as seen through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The podocytes, depicted in shades of red and brown, possess remarkable foot-like processes that branch out in a mesmerizing pattern. These branching processes interweave with those from adjacent podocytes, forming narrow slits that elegantly cover the glomerular membrane. The glomerulus itself is portrayed as a tightly packed ball of capillaries – small blood vessels responsible for filtering the blood. As the blood passes through the slits created by the podocytes, fluid is filtered into the cavity of Bowman's capsule which surrounds it (although not visible in this image). This process allows for certain substances to be reabsorbed before transporting the remaining fluid to the bladder as urine. Through an unknown magnification level, this SEM image provides us with a glimpse into one of our body's most vital systems –the urinary system. It highlights both its complexity and efficiency in maintaining our overall health. By capturing these microscopic details, Science Photo Library offers us an opportunity to marvel at nature's intricacy and gain a deeper appreciation for our own physiology.
