Representative microscope images of collagen deposition in lungs. Sirius red staining of lung sections from control animals (CTRL, panels a, b, c), animals exposed to MWCNTg (d, e, f) and to pMWCNT (g, h, i) at 15, 30 and 60 days. Aggregates of the nanotubes are clearly visible as black spots on the sections, red staining represents collagen deposition. Representative images are shown (40×; scale bar = 30 μm)
