Kidney from a TgHuA53T mouse after 6 months of exposure to NM-200, view at 1/100 in oil. (a) Periodic acid–Schiff staining. (b) Trichrome staining. Arrows indicate glomerulus and tubules. The presence of vacuoles of different sizes is seen solely at the level of focal proximal tubes. The glomeruli are not damaged. Bars = 20 μm.
