Abstrakt		A method is developed for quantitative characterization of 3D capillary networks. Volume data was obtained by stacking up confocal epifluorescent images of renal glomeruli with a Zeiss CLSM. To provide the 3D data set, a region of interest containing an entire glomerulus was extracted from the volume data. A reconstruction of a capillary network with nodes representing transversal profiles of capillary lumens is made by applying a node-branch model of 3D vascular patterns. This network is used to derive the connectivity of the 3D vascular structure and the lenght and number of capillaries.
