Simple cuboidal epithelium

In most cases, simple cuboidal epithelia line tubules, multiple examples of which are seen in this image. The cells in each can vary from nearly cube-shaped to rectangular. Some cells also have a prominent brush border on their free surfaces which is composed of microvilli. Due to the plane of section, the nuclei of some cells are not visible. Kidney 400x
