Blood clot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blood clot (thrombus) in an arteriole (small blood vessel) of a salivary gland. Red blood cells (erythrocytes,red) are trapped within a fibrin protein mesh (thread-like),which is formed in response to chemicals secreted by platelets,fragments of white blood cells (large,round). Clots are formed in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels. Magnification: x1650 when printed 10 centimetres wide | |
