AI Article Synopsis
- Chemical fixage causes the rat lung tissue to contract, making the alveoli look irregular.
- Physical fixage preserves the lung's natural shape, allowing for a clearer observation of its structure.
- Scanning electron microscopy reveals that physical fixage provides more accurate and detailed representations of lung morphology.
Article 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.
