Blood clot, artwork C016 / 4620
Fortification agate. Section through a fortification agate from Scurdie Ness, Scotland, UK. Agate is an aggregate of different forms of silica (SiO2) within a geode. A geode forms when the silica precipitates from liquid onto the inside surface of an empty pocket in a host rock. Fortification agates have bands that resemble the fortifications of a castle. This specimen is from the collections held at the Natural History Museum, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a blood clot, known as artwork C016 / 4620. The image captures a section through a fortification agate from Scurdie Ness, Scotland, UK. Agate is an amalgamation of various forms of silica (SiO2) found within geodes. Geodes are formed when liquid silica precipitates onto the inner surface of an empty pocket in a host rock. Fortification agates possess bands that bear resemblance to the fortified walls of medieval castles. This particular specimen is part of the esteemed collections housed at the Natural History Museum in London. Against a striking black background, this illustration offers insights into biology and highlights key components such as red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), proteins like fibrin, and platelets or thrombocytes involved in clotting processes. The mesmerizing patterns within this clump evoke thoughts about coagulation and thrombosis—when blood clots form abnormally within vessels. Through its artistic portrayal, this artwork provokes contemplation on both biological intricacies and medical conditions related to clotting disorders. Captured by renowned photographer Tim Vernon for Science Photo Library, this image serves as a testament to the remarkable visual appeal that can be found even within scientific subjects.
