Capillary and red blood cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a capillary showing a single red blood cell (red) almost filling the lumen (inner space) of the capillary. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body,only a few micrometres across,just large enough for the passage of red blood cells. The capillary lining consists of endothelial cells. A purple basement membrane surrounds the capillary. Magnification: x4000 when printed 10 centimetres wide | |
