Abstract

This report presents information about a method to construct a wax-sheet model of rat and human glomerula, able to be divided into several segments. Based on the wax model consisting of segments a glomerula model is developed, showing the axis of the glomerula capillaries formed by an ironwire. By means of this model it will be possible to follow the course of the capillaries precisely.
