FITC-Dextran clearance in vivo using confocal microscopic real-time fluorescence imaging

09 September 2008

FITC-Dextran (70kda ) clearance  from a left rat kidney in vivo is perfomed using a revolutionary confocal microscopic real-time  fluorescence imaging. The device is the Five 1 (Optic scan system) which is equipped with a microprobe directely applied on the kidney.A cortical view allows to observe peritubular capillary network surrounding proximal tubule washout.
