Blood clot, SEM C016 / 9750
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. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness the formation of a blood clot, a vital process that occurs in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels. The image showcases red blood cells (erythrocytes) trapped within a fascinating fibrin protein mesh, depicted in an elegant beige hue. This delicate network is formed as platelets, represented by their pink fragments, release chemicals that trigger the creation of the fibrin mesh. These platelets are actually fragments of white blood cells and play a crucial role in initiating clotting. The photograph not only highlights the beauty found within our own bodies but also serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected our biological systems are. It reminds us that even at microscopic levels, life's wonders unfold before our eyes. Captured by SUSUMU NISHINAGA using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this image allows us to appreciate both its scientific significance and aesthetic appeal. Through this visual masterpiece, we gain insight into the complex mechanisms behind thrombosis and coagulation while marveling at the stunning details presented by erythrocytes, platelets, and fibrin proteins.
