Coloured SEM of an early blood clot forming
Blood clot. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph of an early blood clot. The red blood cells are forming rouleaux (rolls) as they become enmeshed in a tangle of fibrin fibres (yellow). Blood clots form when blood cells called platelets are activated by contact with damaged blood vessels. The platelets clump together and release chemical factors into the blood. These factors start a cascade of chemical reactions that turns the soluble protein fibrinogen into insoluble protein fibres called fibrin. The fibrin forms a dense network that enmeshes blood cells and eventually tightens into a solid clot. Magnification: x3, 150 at 5x7cm size. x10, 500 at 10x8ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of an early blood clot forming. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we witness the mesmerizing transformation as red blood cells begin to form rouleaux or rolls, entangled within a web of vibrant yellow fibrin fibres. The formation of blood clots occurs when platelets, activated by damaged blood vessels, gather together and release chemical factors into the bloodstream. These chemical factors initiate a cascade of reactions that convert soluble protein fibrinogen into insoluble protein fibres known as fibrin. As time progresses, these fibrin fibres interweave to create a dense network that ensnares surrounding blood cells and gradually tightens into a solid clot. The magnification level employed for this image allows us to appreciate the intricacy and beauty inherent in our body's coagulation process. At x3,150 for a 5x7cm size or x10,500 at 10x8ins size, we can observe every minute detail with astonishing clarity. This photograph serves as a reminder of the remarkable complexity present within our anatomy and highlights how even seemingly small components like platelets play crucial roles in maintaining our health. Through its scientific lens, this image not only educates but also captivates viewers with its vivid portrayal of an essential bodily function – one that ensures our survival in times of injury or trauma.
