Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Blood clot on plaster, SEM
Blood clot on plaster. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of blood clotting on the surface of a sticking plaster used to dress a small cut. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are trapped in filaments of fibrin protein (brown). The fibres of the absorbent material of the plaster are also seen (grey). When an injury occurs, platelets (not seen) in the blood stimulate the formation of fibrin filaments, which enmesh platelets and red and white blood cells. The fibrin contracts around them to form a solid clot. Sticking plasters are used to help stop bleeding, and to keep an injury clean and dry during healing. Magnification: x830 when printed 10cm wide

This mesmerizing image, "Blood clot on plaster, SEM" by Science Photo Library, reveals the intricate process of blood clotting as seen through the lens of a Scanning Electron Microscope. Each print is meticulously produced using high-quality materials, ensuring vibrant colors and sharp details that bring the beauty of science to life. Perfect for laboratories, classrooms, or any space that inspires curiosity and learning. Experience the magic of science up close with Media Storehouse's Science Poster Prints.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 56.1cm x 42cm (22.1" x 16.5")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of blood clotting on a sticking plaster used to dress a small cut. The vibrant colors in this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) highlight the fascinating details of this physiological phenomenon. Red blood cells, depicted as erythrocytes, are entangled within filaments of fibrin protein, giving them a striking brown hue. Additionally, the absorbent material of the plaster is visible in shades of grey. When an injury occurs, platelets play a crucial role by stimulating the formation of fibrin filaments that ensnare platelets and red and white blood cells alike. As these filaments contract around them, they solidify into a cohesive clot. Sticking plasters serve two essential purposes: halting bleeding and maintaining cleanliness during the healing process. At an impressive magnification level of x830 when printed 10cm wide, this image provides viewers with an up-close look at one aspect of our body's remarkable ability to heal itself. It offers insights into both human anatomy and physiology while shedding light on various aspects such as circulation and coagulation. Science Photo Library has captured this extraordinary moment in haematology using scanning electron microscopy techniques. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of our body's incredible resilience but also highlights the importance of medical advancements that aid in wound care and recovery processes.
