Fig 2 Hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections. (A) Low-power view of (native) right lung parenchyma. Original magnification ×36. (B) Parenchyma of left lower lobe transplant. A marked increase in alveolar airspace can be observed. Original magnification ×36, bar = 500 μm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (99) )
