Wound scab. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of keratinocytes (red) at the site of a skin wound. Keratinocytes are skin cells that contain the protein keratin. They migrate to the site of a wound and form accumulating layers that form the hard protective object called a scab. This covers the wound,allowing skin repair to proceed under the surface. Once the wound has healed,the scab will loosen and fall off. Magnification: x535 when printed 10cm wide | |
