Love in an Airway

By Suzanne House

scope image of a heart shape in a human airway

“I am among those who think that science has great beauty.”  Marie Curie

This image was taken looking through the eyepiece of a dissecting microscope using an iPhone.  It shows a thin section of human precision cut lung slice (PCLS) with an airway that is bifurcating and resembles a heart.  

Suzanne House is a Research Associate in the Department of Pediatrics.
