Histology of tubule and glomeruli in 3 dpf mnx2b morphants. Histological horizontal section of a pronephric duct (A, B) and of a glomerolus (B, D) in control animal (A, B) and in mnx2b morphant (C, D). Dilated pronephric duct (C) and glomerolus of a mnx2b morphant (D). Note the urinary pole on both glomerula (up). ca = capillary, c = cilia, p = podocyte, pnd = pronephric duct. Scale bar is 50 µm. Rombout fixed and Polybed 812 embedded zebrafish were cut serially with a Histo Butler diamond knife (Diatome, Switzerland) with a thickness of 2 µm, stained with 1% methylen blue and 1% AZUR II in 1% sodium tetraborate for 2 minutes and examined with a leica DM5000B microscope. Images were made with a Leica DFC490 digital camera and aLeica application suite V4 software.
