Figure 3
Representative SEM micrographs of fully formed blood clots taken from the same individual before (a) and 2Â hours after thrombolysis (b). The images show a significant change in the clot microstucture characteristics, where at point A the blood clot was denser with more branching points corresponding to a d f value of 1.71. At point B, although the clot seems to have thicker fibre width it was more porous and corresponded to a lower d f value of 1.66. The scale bar is similar and applies to both images. The patient was on aspirin at baseline.
