title: [Scanning electron microscopy study of rat lung tissue].
abstract: Parts of rat lung tissue have been examined by means of a scanning electron microscope after either  chemical or physical fixage. Chemical fixage produces retraction on the tissue structures and the alveoles appear of irregular shape. Physical fixage gives the possibility to observe lung morphology without distorsions; details reproduced are in this case very clear and in a shape which appears very close to the original conditions.
