X-3 (5) Slide 85, Human Kidney (H&E). Medium power view of the cortex. Observe glomerulus, eosinophilic proximal convoluted tubules, and light staining distal convoluted tubules. At the right of the glomerulus (2 o'clock), macula densa of a distal tubule and juxtaglomerular (J-G) cells of an arteriole are seen (vascular pole). This is best seen in a later image (X-6).
