A detailed ultrastructural examination of lung cryobiopsy samples from a COVID-19 patient case series – Data set 12

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 12 contains stitched image montages of thin sections (selected areas) through the lung of patients C04 and C07 which were acquired by scanning electron microscopy. The images show alveolae with various degree of epithelial damage.
