{cap}Cover: Ca²⁺ oscillations in the intact alveolus. A surface alveolus of a blood-perfused rat lung was loaded with fura 2-AMand then imaged by digital epifluorescence microscopy. The sequentiallyobtained images in pseudocolor reflect distribution of Ca²⁺ concentration in alveolar epithelial cells. At baseline (toprow), the images depict no time-dependent changes of pseudocolor,hence of Ca²⁺. In the period after a single, 15-s lung expansion (middle andbottom rows), marked Ca²⁺ oscillations appear as reflected in time-dependent changes ofpseudocolor from orange to green. From Ashino Y, Ying X, DobbsLG, and Bhattacharya J. [Ca²⁺]_i oscillations regulate type II cell exocytosis in the pulmonaryalveolus. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 279:L5-L13,2000.
