Figure 7
(a) A high-resolution CT image of paraffin-embedded human lung tissue with a voxel size 0.7 µm × 0.7 µm × 0.7 µm (3000 equally spaced angular projections over 360° with an integration time of 200 ms per projection). (b) Comparison with a microphotograph of a healthy human lung tissue. Blood vessels (red arrows), alveolar walls (green arrows), red blood cells and alveolar macrophages [white circles, in (b)] inside the alveolar spaces are visible in the CT, highlighting the histological quality of images produced by this imaging setup.
