(a) HE stain of a tissue micro-array paraffin block with samples of all six patients who succumbed to Covid-19. (b) Schematic representation of the sample preparation and mounting. In a first step biopsy punches containing the entire individual lung tissues are transferred onto a holder for the parallel-beam local tomography acquisition, followed by a further reduction in size to a 1 mm biopsy punch, for cone-beam tomographic recordings. (c) Configuration for parallel-beam tomography. (d) Configuration for cone-beam holo-tomography.
