Three-dimensional characteristics of the mitochondria of the rat nephron. We propose a new model for the mitochondrion of the proximal and distal nephron. The introduction of a new block-staining technique allowed us to observe mitochondria in thick sections (0.5 to 1.5 µm) with a standard transmission electron microscope (80 to 100kV). Combined with stereomicroscopy and serial sections, the thick section offered a three-dimensional view of the chondriome. After glutaraldehyde fixation, rat kidney blocks were immersed in a double-lead and copper citrate solution, which stained mitochondria selectively. Mitochondria were observed to anastomose, branching was evident, and many laterial connections were seen. In cells of both the proximal and ...
