Figure 1

Representative photomicrograph of a Verhoeff-Van Gieson elastin stained postmortem lung from a patient who died after acute respiratory distress. Elastin-staining laminar structures (ELS) are prominently featured. Some of the ELS are partially attached to the alveolar septa. Inflammatory cellular exudates are essentially absent in the alveoli of terminal respiratory spaces. (200×)
