Summary
Automatically generated
We describe the method for quantitative analysis of the distribution of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia (3 µm in size) in the airways of mice. The method also can be used for the analysis of microparticles and nanoparticle agglomerate distribution in the airways in various pathological condition models.
