Red blood cells and molecules, artwork
Red blood cells and drug molecules, computer artwork. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are responsible for supplying tissues with oxygen and are the most abundant type of cell in the blood

Anaemia in pregnancy, artwork
Anaemia in pregnancy. Computer artwork of irregular shaped erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the outline of a pregnant woman in profile. This represents iron-deficiency anaemia in pregnancy

Blood group A. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letter A. This represents blood group A

Blood analysis. Doctor using a light microscope to analyse a sample of blood. Blood disorders that can be diagnosed this way include malaria. Photographed the Gulu region of Uganda

Researcher using multichannel pipette, ELISA test

Blood groups. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and the letters A, B, AB and O. This represents the four different blood groups

Blood group AB. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letters A and B. This represents blood group AB

ELISA blood test for antibodies to disease
Blood test. Multi-pipette puts blood samples into a multi-well sample tray during an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA)

Blood test results. Medical technician examining the printed results from a blood test. The blood sample has been analysed by this automated machine

Blood group O. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letter O. This represents blood group O

Blood sample testing. Medical technician preparing blood samples for a chemiluminescence immunity test. This test uses fluorescent antibodies to bind to antigens in the blood

Blood group B. Computer artwork of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the shape of the letter B. This represents blood group B

Stem cell blood analysis
MODEL RELEASED. Stem cell blood analysis. Technician using a flow cytometer to examine a sample of blood stem cells. The cells have been tagged with a fluorescent antibody to a surface protein (CD 34)

Thalassaemia, X-ray
Thalassaemia. Coloured hand X-ray of a patient with thalassaemia, also known as Cooleys anaemia. The bones of the hand show demineralization (lighter patches)

Blood clot crystals, SEM
Blood clot crystals. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of crystals of albumin from a blood clot. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma

Red blood cells embedded in tissue
Red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of red blood cells in tissue. Blood is composed mainly of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells are pumped to all parts of the body

Blood clot
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blood clot. Red blood cells have been trapped by a web of thin yellow-white strands of fibrin

Blood platelet, TEM

Blood cells, computer artwork
Blood cells. Computer artwork of red blood cells, white blood, white blood cells (blue) and platelets (yellow) travelling through the lumen of the blood vessel

Human blood cells, light micrograph
Human blood cells. Light micrograph of blood cells at a site of inflammation, showing red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) surrounded by many granulocytes (blue)

Red blood cells, SEM
Red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells are biconcave, disc-shaped cells that transport oxygen from the lungs to body cells

Colour TEM of red blood cells, rouleau formation
Red blood cells. Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of sectioned human red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a rouleau formation

Types of blood cell
Blood cells. Artwork (based on a scanning electron micrograph) showing various blood cells escaping from a sectioned small vein (top right)

ECG and red blood cells. Computer artwork of an electrocardiogram (ECG) trace and red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells are biconcave, giving them a large surface area for gas exchange

Haematology, the captivating study of blood cells and their intricate functions, unveils a world unseen to the naked eye. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we delve into this mesmerizing realm where red and white blood cells take center stage. Witnessing these tiny heroes in action is truly awe-inspiring. The blood coagulation cascade, an essential process for wound healing, comes alive through artwork C016 / 9873. Each step meticulously depicted, showcasing the complexity behind clot formation. Meanwhile, SEM reveals the delicate beauty of red blood cells as they flow gracefully through our veins. Dohle bodies in a blood cell micrograph offer a glimpse into abnormalities that can occur within these vital components of life itself. Their presence hints at underlying health conditions that require further investigation. Acute promyelocytic leukaemia's impact becomes evident when examining its micrograph closely. The distorted appearance of affected cells serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those battling this disease. Intriguingly, even on plaster surfaces under SEM scrutiny, we uncover unexpected encounters with blood clots - reminders that our body's defense mechanisms are always at work to protect us from harm. Computer artwork brings forth vibrant depictions of red blood cells dancing harmoniously together; their collective effort ensuring oxygen reaches every corner of our being. A testament to nature's remarkable design and efficiency. And let us not forget about stem cells – versatile powerhouses capable of transforming into various specialized cell types. SEM provides an up-close look at these extraordinary entities that hold immense potential for regenerative medicine and groundbreaking therapies. Finally, an enchanting connection between red blood cells and the heart emerges before our eyes – symbolizing life's unbreakable bond between circulation and vitality. Haematology unravels secrets hidden within each drop coursing through our veins - reminding us how intricately woven science is with human existence itself.
