Histological examination of alveolar walls involves several techniques:
Light microscopy: This technique allows for the visualization of alveolar wall structure using stained tissue sections. Electron microscopy: Provides detailed images of the ultrastructure of alveolar walls, including cellular components and the extracellular matrix. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses specific antibodies to detect and localize proteins within the alveolar walls, providing insights into cellular function and pathology.
