Transmission electron microscopy of lung tissue from pig subjects to experimental injury with intratracheal SPA. (A) Alveolar-capillary interface with gaps in the capillary epithelium (open brackets denoting size of gap), necrosis of alveolar epithelium (dashed arrows), and gap in endothelium (solid arrow) (original magnification × 5,800). (B) Alveolus with fibrin deposition (solid arrow) and a neutrophil in the air space (dashed arrow) (original magnification × 3,900). (C) Perialveolar blood vessel containing fibrin (white asterisk) and a red blood cell (RBC) (original magnification × 9,700).
