Confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy of SPN (autofluorescence, 488 nm excitation, Cell-vizio Lung 488) demonstrating: A, axial elastic backbone of an alveolar duct and B, cellular infiltration by fluorescent cells, presumably alveolar macrophages using (i) AlveoFlex® miniprobe and (ii) CholangioFlex® miniprobe.
