Damaged blood vessel, TEM

Damaged blood vessel. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a red blood cell (circular) leaking through the wall of a damaged blood vessel. The epithelium (green) of the blood vessel has developed a hole. Red blood cells leaking from blood vessels into surrounding tissues cause bruising. Eventually a blood clot will form over the damaged area to prevent further blood loss

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a damaged blood vessel. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness the aftermath of an unfortunate event where a red blood cell is seen leaking through the compromised wall of the vessel. The green epithelium surrounding the vessel has developed a hole, allowing for this leakage to occur. The consequences of such damage are evident as we observe how red blood cells escape from their designated pathways and seep into the surrounding tissues, resulting in what we commonly know as bruising. However, our remarkable biological systems have their own defense mechanisms at play. Over time, a blood clot will form over this injured area, effectively preventing any further loss of precious life-sustaining fluid. This image serves as a powerful reminder of both the fragility and resilience of our human bodies. It highlights not only the intricacy and complexity found within our anatomy but also emphasizes key processes that take place on a microscopic level. By utilizing advanced technology like TEM, scientists can delve deeper into understanding these phenomena and contribute to medical advancements in fields such as biology and medicine. Science Photo Library continues to provide us with awe-inspiring visuals that bridge artistry with scientific exploration – offering us glimpses into worlds unseen by most naked eyes.
