Flight into a Rat Acinus

The flight starts by entering a transitional bronchiole. Domes of Club cell are visible on the surface of the bronchiole. Turning left an alveolar duct is entered. Various alveoli and the entrance of few alveolar ducts are visible. Shortly before the end of first alveolar duct, the fight turns left again and flies down another alveolar duct. After a short distance it ends in front of an alveolus which is subdivided by a low ridge representing a still forming new alveolar septum. Rat lung at postnatal day 36. Surface rendering of a sample scanned by SRXTM for Schittny et al. (Schittny et al. 2008) using the software Imaris 4.1 (Bitplane, Zürich, Switzerland). Because the magnification is changing during the flight a scale bar could not be easily shown. However, the entrance of the bronchiole has a diameter of ~100 µm
