Figure 4.

3D reconstructions of developing mesenteric thrombus. Pictures show luminal view of 3-D reconstructed developing thrombus at four representative time points [48 s, 2 min 24 s, 4 min, and 7 min 12 s; (a) to (d), respectively]. (a, b) represent early time points of thrombus growth while the composition, size, and shape of the thrombus is changing rapidly; (c, d) show of the thrombus after is has stabilized with a fibrin “coat” on its surface. Green, fibrin; red, platelets; 40× objective was used.
