Platelets in a blood clot
Platelets in a blood clot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of platelet cells (thrombocytes) in a blood clot. They are oval shaped, but when they meet damaged blood vessels they become activated - releasing chemical factors and turning into spiky spheres. The chemical factors cause fibrinogen to come out of solution as fibrin fibres, catching platelets and other blood cells and eventually forming a solid clot. Magnification: x4600 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of platelets in a blood clot. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a closer look at these remarkable cells known as thrombocytes. Oval-shaped by nature, their appearance dramatically transforms when they encounter damaged blood vessels. Upon activation, platelets release chemical factors and assume a spiky spherical form. These chemical factors play a crucial role in initiating the formation of fibrin fibres from soluble fibrinogen. As these fibres emerge, they entangle platelets and other blood cells, gradually solidifying into what we recognize as a blood clot. The magnification level employed for this print is an astounding x4600, allowing us to appreciate even the tiniest details when printed at just 10 centimetres wide. The image not only delves into the biology and physiology of platelet function but also sheds light on the complex process of clotting. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment within our own bodies through this stunning SEM photograph. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly mundane processes like clotting lies extraordinary beauty and intricacy waiting to be explored by curious minds in the fields of biology and physiology.
