Glomerulus
The pedicels of a podocyte contact the thick, combined basal laminae of the endothelial cell and the podocyte. The pedicels of one podocyte interdigitate with those from a different podocyte. In many cases, the connection of the pedicel with the primary process is not visible. The endothelium of the capillaries is widely fenestrated and lacks the diaphragms commonly seen in other fenestrated capillaries. 14,000x
