Blood clot, SEM C016 / 9745
Blood clot, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are trapped within a fibrin protein mesh (beige). 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Blood Clot" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human biology. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image showcases a blood clot in stunning detail. The composition features red blood cells, known as erythrocytes, ensnared within a delicate fibrin protein mesh. The beige-colored mesh is formed as a response to chemicals secreted by platelets, which are represented in pink fragments alongside white blood cells. This fascinating process occurs either due to cardiovascular disease or injuries sustained by blood vessels. Against the backdrop of an intense black background, this SEM micrograph highlights the clumped nature of these biological components. The image serves as a reminder of our body's remarkable ability to protect itself and heal from damage. Photographed by SUSUMU NISHINAGA for Science Photo Library, this print not only captures the beauty and complexity of human biology but also provides valuable insights into thrombosis and coagulation processes. It stands as an artistic representation that merges science with aesthetics, inviting viewers to appreciate both its visual appeal and scientific significance.
