Spectral confocal microscopy of living human lungs reveals the alveolar microstructure. Green calcein staining shows living cells constituting the alveolar septum, where the gas exchange takes place. The cells are attached to a tight and intertwined collagen and elastin network (grey) from which dying cells (red) detach into the air space (black areas). Image adjusted for illustration. This is reported by Katja Zscheppang, Johanna Berg, Sarah Hedtrich, Leonie Verheyen, Darcy E. Wagner, Norbert Suttorp, Stefan Hippenstiel and Andreas C. Hocke, article number 1700341 .
