Figure 11
Figure 11 SEM micrograph of the fenestrated endothelial lining of a human injection-fixed wedge biopsy. Note the grouping of fenestrae in sieve plates. Compare this figure with Figure 12, which shows an SEM micrograph of a mouse sinusoid at the same magnification. Fenestrae are apparently sensitive to fixation and are lost during immersion fixation. Their presence can therefore be used as a criterion of good fixation.
