Slide 1.5 Illustration of a portion of the glomerulus. Bowman's capsule is not represented here. The visceral epithelial cells and their foot processes are in blue. The endothelial cell bodies and their fenestrated cytoplasm are in red. The solid black is the glomerular basement membrane. The black, cross-hatched area is the mesangial matrix with a lone mesangial cell nucleus near the center of the matrix.

Slide 1.5a Light microscope view of glomerulus with a silver stain. The "spikes" of basement membrane are seen along the glomerular capillary walls. This is a feature of membranous glomerulopathy.
