Microvascular Corrosion Casting in Scanning Electron Microscopy

  • 146 Accesses

Abstract

It is impossible to discuss all the work done on the renal vasculature. Numerous studies have been undertaken on the renal vessels variations, three-dimensional structure of the tubulus system and tubular cells, and development of the renal glomeruli, using macro- and microcorrosion casting methods [1–11]. In order to get a systematic view on the kidney vascularization, first the fish and then the amphibian, reptilian, avian, and finally the mammalian kidney vascular patterns are described.
