Genesis of the schistocyte

Genesis of the schistocyte
This scanning electron microphotograph shows a red blood cell (white arrow) about to be "guillotined" by a fibrin strand (yellow arrow), produced as a result of intravascular coagulation. This results in the formation of a fragmented red blood cell, termed a schistocyte or "helmet cell."
