Description
Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of white blood cells (lymphocytes and macrophages) on surgical thread. Two weeks after the operation the thread was removed from the patient and prepared for electron microscopy. All the areas of the thread that were situated inside the body are densely populated with these immune system cells. White blood cells defend the body by attacking foreign organisms or objects such as this thread. SEM 43x.
