A detailed ultrastructural examination of lung cryobiopsy samples from a COVID-19 patient case series – Data set 07

We investigated six cryobiopsy samples from six deceased patients (patients C03 to C08 from Barisione et al. 2020 doi.org/10.1007/s00428-020-02934-1) by using thin section electron microscopy (Cortese et al. 2022 doi.org/10.1007/s00428-022-03308-5). A detailed description of the methods and the data set is provided in the download container.

Data set 07 contains stitched image montages of thin sections (selected areas) through the lung of patients C04 to C06 which were acquired by scanning electron microscopy. The images show alveolae with different degree of structural modification: Intact alveolar septum (C06); alveolar septum with detached alveolar epithelium (C04); dissolved alveolar organization (C05).
