Kidney glomerulus, TEM C016 / 5831
Kidney glomerulus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a renal glomerulus. At centre left is a capillary with a red blood cell (black) in its lumen

Butterfly wing scale detail, SEM
Attachment socket and pedicle of a single scale on the underside of a butterflys wing (Morpho aega), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The scale is non-reflective and non-defractive

Coloured SEM of podocytes in the human kidney
Kidney glomerulus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of podocyte cells on a glomerulus in the kidney. Glomeruli are made up of a tight knot of blood capillaries covered in podocyte cells

Glomerular capillary, TEM
Glomerular capillary. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through kidney tissue, showing a capillary from a glomerulus. Glomeruli filter waste products from the blood

"Exploring the Intricacies of Pedicle: From Kidney Glomerulus to Brachiopods" Delving into the microscopic world, we observe a kidney glomerulus through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), revealing its intricate structure. Pancratium Speciosum, captured in Plate 47 from A Selection of Hexandrian Plants, showcases the delicate beauty of nature's pedicles. An exquisite illustration from 1831-1834 presents us with another glimpse into Pancratium Speciosum's pedicle, highlighting its unique characteristics. Shifting our focus to human anatomy, we explore the vertebra and uncover how it relies on pedicles for stability and support. Actinoconchus paradoxus McCoy demonstrates its attachment to hard substrates using a short pedicle; its brachial valve mirroring the surface it clings onto. Derbyia grandis (Waagen) reveals an intriguing free-living brachiopod with a remarkable pedicle valve that aids in locomotion and survival. Discinisca lugubris (Conrad) exhibits a conical pedicle valve within its shell, showcasing adaptations that enable this brachiopod species to thrive in various environments. Returning to renal wonders, we venture deeper into kidney glomeruli using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), unraveling their complex network responsible for filtration and waste removal. Nature never ceases to amaze as we zoom in on butterfly wing scale details through SEM imaging techniques - even these tiny structures possess fascinating pedicular arrangements. Our journey concludes by revisiting kidney glomeruli once more through SEM imagery; each capture emphasizing their vital role in maintaining proper kidney function and overall health.
