Description
Scanning electron micrograph of a single fiber from a hollow-fiber hemodialyzer. These synthetic fibers contain two compartments, the blood compartment (red) and the dialysate (cleaning solution) compartment (brown). Excess fluid toxins are removed from the blood through the process of counter-current mass exchange across the semipermeable membrane that separates the compartments. Magnification x1,400 at 12x12 cm.
