Blood clot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a clot in a small blood vessel. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are trapped within a fibrin protein mesh (thread-like), which is formed in response to chemicals secreted by platelets, fragments of white blood cells. Clots are formed in response to cardiovascular disease or injuries to blood vessels.
