The model focuses on the site of filtration to help make the function of the kidney more understandable. Enlarged approximately 700X, the model enhances microscope slide images by providing a three dimensional, detailed rendering of the kidney section showing the arterioles, capillaries, and capsular epithelium. The tubule cross sections surrounding the capsule include the thick and thin limbs of Henle’s loop, proximal and distal convolutions, and the collecting tubule.
