Via 3D microscopy, the filtration structure of the kidney, the 200–500 nanometre wide podocyte foot processes, are visualised with light microscopy (left image). This enables simple automatic analysis and quantification of the health condition of the kidney (images right), with possible application within clinical renal diagnostics.
