A detailed ultrastructural examination of lung cryobiopsy samples from a COVID-19 patient case series – Data set 11

We investigated six cryobiopsy samples from six deceased patients (patients C03 to C08 from Barisione et al. 2020 doi.org/10.1007/s00428-020-02934-1) by using thin section electron microscopy (Cortese et al. 2022 doi.org/10.1007/s00428-022-03308-5). A detailed description of the methods and the data set is provided in the download container.

Data set 11 contains a stitched image montage of a thin section (selected area) through the lung of patient C05 which was acquired by scanning electron microscopy. The image shows a lung area with a dissolved alveolar architecture and a massive type-2-cell hyperplasia.
