Peroxisomes in kidney convoluted tubule, light micrograph

---

Light micrograph of a kidney stained with the diaminobenzidine method to show peroxidase present in the peroxisomes of the proximal convoluted tubules. In the cross-sectioned tubule visible at right, these organelles can be seen to be distributed throughout the cytoplasm of the proximal tubule cells, with a slight tendency to accumulate at the base of the cells. The two remaining tubules are oblique sections, in which the peroxisomes can be seen located around circular voids corresponding to the cell nuclei.
