White blood cell on fibrin, SEM
Single white blood cell (leucocyte or leukocyte) on fibrin, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Although only accounting for approximately 1% of blood, leukocytes are essential for good health and work to protect us against illness and disease. They are made in the bone marrow and are stored in the blood and lymphatic system. When an area of the body comes under attack from bacteria, a virus or other foreign invaders that may be a threat to your health, leukocytes will travel to the affected area to destroy the potential threat and prevent illness. In this image the leukocyte is sitting on a mesh of fibrin. Fibrin is a protein formed from fibrinogen during the clotting of blood. It forms a fibrin mesh that disrupts the flow of blood thus preventing additional blood loss from the site of a wound. Magnification: x9000 when printed at 10cm wide
