Human lung tissue showing cancer cells

Which are the cancer cells? Is it the white stuff or the more magenta stuff?
My extreme-macro.co.uk site, a learning site. Your comments and input there would be gratefully appreciated.

Cancer cells
While I'm not a pathologist, by comparing myslides of healthy lung tissue which are absent the large bluish masses, I conclude the bluish cell massses are cancerous. I have seen similar cell masses on other histology slides of cancers.

Color balance
Pau,
I had been using a Custom White Balance at 4000 K on my scope. But now i am trying a One-Touch White Balance on my Olympus E-420. For those of you not familiar with One-Touch White balance, you are able to shoot a white frame with the camera and it saves the white balance as a neutral gray in the white balance library.

Hi, guys,
For what it's worth, and I've shot a fair number of histology and histopathology slides, I think the bluish masses are actually cartilage supporting the airways. Lungs should be full of air pockets, but these seem to be filled with dark red cells where the voids should be. Perhaps these are the cancerous cells? They don't look like normal lung tissue to me. DO you know what type of cancer this is?
Cheers,
John

Human lung
I have other slides of human human lung tissue which I will post. The others show large areas clear of tissue. The blue cells look very much like the cancer I see in a Caposis Sarcoma slide I have.
I've been accumulating histology slides for several years through online auctions and have a diverse selection. Some have detailed labelling and some are labelled simply. I'll see if there are images on the net showing cancerous tissue.

Lung tissue
This is lung tissue but the slide is not marked as to whether it is human or not. I have a cartilage slide which I will post tomorrow so we can compare.
Since we are challeneged for winter specimens in the Northern Hemisphere since our ponds and streams have frozen over and most of the species appear to be encysted, lets see your histology slides.

Hi, Michael. I've posted one of my images of lung on the forum as well, just for tissue type comparison: http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 991#139991
Keep the lovely pix coming!
