Blood clot, SEM C016 / 9747
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 photo print, titled "Blood Clot" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human biology. Against a striking black background, the image showcases a clump of red blood cells (erythrocytes) ensnared within a delicate fibrin protein mesh in beige hues. This fascinating network is formed as a response to chemicals secreted by platelets, which are represented in soft pink shades and are fragments of white blood cells. The composition serves as an artistic representation of how clots are generated in reaction to cardiovascular disease or injuries that affect our blood vessels. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), SUSUMU NISHINAGA from Science Photo Library has captured this microscopic marvel with exceptional detail and precision. Every element within this photograph tells its own story - from the vibrant red coloration symbolizing life-giving erythrocytes to the resilient fibrin mesh acting as nature's protective shield against harm. The presence of platelets reminds us of their crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot, we gain insight into the complex mechanisms at play within our bodies. It serves as both an educational tool for those studying biological processes and an awe-inspiring work of art that highlights the beauty hidden within even the tiniest components of life itself.
