Figure 3.
Sketch of the deposition substrate, discretized in cells of area ΔS, corresponding to the surface of a platelet. The grey levels indicate the density of albumin already deposited in each cell. The picture also illustrates the adhesion, aggregation and deposition along the z-axis. On the left panel, activated platelets (grey side discs) deposit first. Then in the right panel, non-activated platelets (white side discs) aggregate next to an already formed cluster.
