Glomerulus

The principal component of the filtration barrier of the glomerulus is the composite basal laminae of the endothelium and the podocyte.  The fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries lack the typical diaphragms.  Between alternating pedicels are filtration slits, that are spanned by a membrane that also regulates filtration.  30,000x
