Caption

Simulation of viral/bacterial pneumonia in a human lung tissue model. Spectral microscopy is used to visualize influenza viruses (green) inside the alveolar cells; attached to these, the pneumococcal bacteria (red), which are no longer recognized as a result of the immune response mounted against the viruses; section of an alveolus (grey); nuclei (orange).
