T156 |
84-269 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The swelling of the alveolar walls as well as the inflamed blood vessels can be identified by comparing the reconstructed electron density and the 3D-distance map (see Figure 6f and g). |
T157 |
270-408 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Figure 6h shows the distribution of the tissue-air distances (histogram) for all samples, following the workflow illustrated in Figure 6e. |
T158 |
409-462 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The binning of distances was set to one voxel length. |
T159 |
463-576 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The figure underlines the high diversity of the tissue structure which could already be seen in the 3D histology. |
T160 |
577-684 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Further, it directly informs about the specific surface SV, which is given by the first point of the graph. |
T161 |

Sentence |
denotes |
The corresponding parameters and metrics are tabulated in Table 1 for all samples. |
T162 |
768-872 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Additionally, the mean concentration of lymphocytes cl within the lung tissue is listed for all samples. |
T163 |

T165 |
1102-1239 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Note, that the control lung was prepared in a hydrated environment and shrinking due to further preparation of the sample does not occur. |
T166 |
