Isosurface rendering of red blood cells and larger blood vessels imaged using phase-contrast synchrotron-based computed tomography of mouse soleus muscle. RBCs are so abundant that they delineate the direction of the capillaries parallel to the muscle fibre and fill the whole muscle. A zoom into a subregion shows the disconnected nature of the RBCs and a connected part of a larger blood vessel.
