Description
Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of lung tissue showing pulmonary alveoli in a dense network of capillaries with erythrocytes (red blood cells). Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are the site of gas exchange in the lungs, where oxygen from inhaled air is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released to be exhaled. Magnification is 1801, or 120x when printed at 10 cm wide.
