Blood clot, SEM C017 / 7141
Blood clot, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Red blood cells (erythrocytes) and a white blood cell (purple) trapped within a fibrin protein mesh (cream). The fibrin mesh is formed in response to chemicals secreted by platelets (brown), fragments of white blood cells. Clots are formed in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels. Magnification: x5, 500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Blood clot, SEM C017 / 7141" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our circulatory system. The image showcases a blood clot in stunning detail, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the various components within this fascinating biological phenomenon. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) dominate the scene, while a lone white blood cell (purple) stands out amidst them. These cells find themselves ensnared within a delicate mesh of fibrin protein (cream), forming an elaborate structure. The formation of this fibrin mesh is triggered by platelets (brown), which release specific chemicals in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels. Clots like these play an essential role in preventing excessive bleeding and aiding in wound healing. At a magnification of x5,500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail becomes apparent. This image serves as both an educational tool and a work of art, showcasing the beauty that can be found even within our own bodies. "Blood clot, SEM C017 / 7141" invites us to marvel at the complexity and resilience of our circulatory system while reminding us of its crucial role in maintaining our health and well-being.
