    13.14   Renal cortex Version française
Cortex of a rodent kidney stained with TPA.

The proximal convoluted tubules (A) have epithelial cells with a heavily stained cytoplasm and a distinct apical yellowish brush border. In the stellate lumina the blue granular material (*) corresponds to precipitated proteins.

Some segments of the proximal convoluted tubules (B) are less chromophilic. This indicates that proximal convoluted tubules have more than one subsegment.

Stain: TPA
Magnification: ×600
