Embolism. Coloured scanning electron micrograph
Embolism. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blockage, or embolism, in a blood vessel. Embolisms, particularly when they occur in vital organs such as the lungs (pulmonary embolism), can cause severe medical problems or death. Elsewhere they can lead to pain and tissue death. The most common embolus (particle causing an embolism) is a blood clot

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Embolism" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our blood vessels. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness the presence of a blockage, known as an embolism, within a blood vessel. The image serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers that embolisms pose to our health. Embolisms can have devastating consequences when they occur in vital organs like the lungs, often referred to as pulmonary embolisms. Such occurrences can lead to severe medical complications or even death. However, these obstructions can also manifest elsewhere in the body, causing excruciating pain and tissue death. The most common culprit behind an embolism is none other than a blood clot. This microscopic photo allows us to appreciate its crystalline structure and false colour representation under high magnification through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). By exploring such images, researchers gain valuable insights into understanding this disorder and developing effective treatments. Science Photo Library has once again captured both the beauty and complexity of medical subjects with their remarkable collection of microscopic photos. This particular print serves as a powerful visual aid for healthcare professionals and researchers alike who strive to combat this potentially life-threatening condition.
