Representative H&E-stained Photomicrographs of Control, Sepsis and ARDS lung tissue. A (10x) and B (20x) - Control group: Preserved alveolar parenchyma. Since most of this group have heart conditions related cause of death, it is possible to observe a moderate presence of macrophages in the lung tissue. C (10x) and D (20x) – Sepsis Group: Intense congestion and mild inflammatory infiltrate. In detail (40x), a focal area of hyaline membrane formation is shown. E (10x) and F (20x) – ARDS group: Intense hyaline membrane formation and mild alveolar haemorrhage. In detail (40x), hyaline membrane formation upon a denuded alveolar basement membrane. Scale bar 10x = 100 μm. Scale bar 20x = 50 μm. Scale bar 40x = 20 μm
