Blood clot C013 / 7129
Blood clot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blood clot (centre) forming in connective tissue. Red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) are trapped within a fibrin protein mesh (yellow threads). The fibrin mesh is formed in response to chemicals secreted by platelets (pink), fragments of white blood cells. Clots are formed in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels. Magnification: x1000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Blood clot C013 / 7129" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our circulatory system. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), showcases the formation of a blood clot within connective tissue. At the center of this composition, we witness an entangled web of yellow threads known as fibrin protein mesh. This delicate structure acts as a trap for red blood cells (erythrocytes) that are suspended within it, their vibrant hue contrasting against the surrounding backdrop. The pink hues scattered throughout represent platelets, fragments of white blood cells responsible for secreting chemicals that initiate the formation of this vital defense mechanism. Blood clots serve as guardians in response to cardiovascular diseases or injuries sustained by our blood vessels. When printed at 10 centimeters wide and magnified to x1000, this photograph reveals astonishing details that unveil the complexity and beauty present within our own bodies. It is through such scientific imagery that we gain insight into the wonders hidden beneath our skin. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this stunning piece not only showcases his expertise but also serves as a reminder of how science can capture moments both awe-inspiring and educational simultaneously.
