Figure 1

Randomization of alveoli for measurement of alveolar stability. The percentage change in alveolar area between peak inspiration and end expiration. (a) For each microscopic field analyzed, a vertical line bisecting the field was drawn. (b) Each alveolus that contacted this bisecting line was chosen for analysis of alveolar stability. Bar = 100 μm.
