Figure 1 Original low-power electron micrograph of part of a glomerulus in thin membrane nephropathy (TMN). Two separated profiles of a red cell are seen in the loop toward the bottom left of the picture (×2600).

Figure 2 Serial sections of the above showing the traversing red cell (A–E, ×8000). (F) A higher magnification of A, demonstrating a cell junction (arrow, ×20,800). (G) A higher magnification of C showing the flocculent material, with the same density as plasma, in the Bowman's space adjacent to the traversing red cell (×20,800).
