  • Blood cells through the microscope. This image is a combination of what can be seen through the microscope, and the artists impression of blood cells and surrounding structures and organisms.

  • Skin around wound, mouse, blood cells
  • SEM of blood clot, new cells under fibrin
  • Small blood vessel - endothelial cells & RBC
  • Red blood cells clearly showing their biconcave disc shape.
  • Red blood cells clearly showing their biconcave disc shape.
  • Blood cells (of a goose or guillemot?): four figures. Ink and crayon, possibly by D. Gascoigne Lillie, ca 1906.
  • Choroidal vessels in the human eye with red blood cells
  • Blood cells in myeloid leukaemia stained with Ehrlich's triple stain, as seen under a microscope. Watercolour after A. Goodall, 1912.
  • Blood vessels in the retina showing the endothelial cells in red and the vascular contents in green. Surrounding cell nuclei are stained blue.
  • Cellular architecture of normal human skin imaged by whole mount tissue microscopy. Human skin has a rich network of white blood cells (specifically dendritic cells, T cells and macrophages) which form sheaths around blood vessels (string-like structures). A network of lymphatic vessels (ribbon-like structures) is also present. In this image, human skin lymphatic vessels (stained for LYVE-1; blue) and white blood cells comprised of dendritic cells (stained for CD11c; green) and T cells (stained for CD3; red) can be seen. Some macrophages also express the protein LYVE-1 similar to lymphatic vessel cells which can be appreciated as blue cells within and in between the sheaths of white blood cells. This normal cellular architecture is grossly disrupted in diseased skin (see related images). X10 magnification. Scale bar (white) represents 200 micrometres.
  • Human small intestine showing villi. The cytokeratinin the cells is stained blue, the cell nuclei are stained red and the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels are stained green.
  • Malarial infection: a cross-section of blood cells (from the work of Alphonse Laveran). Photograph, ca. 1890.
  • Red blood cells from a person with sickle cell anaemia. These cells are not sickled as there is plenty of oxygen present. For a deoxygenated, sickled comparison see N0024943
  • Cellular architecture of normal human skin imaged by whole mount tissue microscopy. Human skin has a rich network of white blood cells (specifically dendritic cells, T cells and macrophages) which form sheaths around blood vessels. In this image, blood vessels (string-like structures stained for CD31; green), lymphatic vessels (ribbon-like structures stained for LYVE-1; blue) and T cells (stained for CD3; red) can be seen. T cells are only found around dermal blood vessels. Macrophages (stained for LYVE-1; blue) are also present. This normal cellular architecture is grossly disrupted in diseased skin (see related images). X10 magnification. Scale bar (white) represents 200 micrometres.
