Description
False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a sample of blood from a patient with acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) showing several erythrocytes (red blood cells) and three leukaemic cells with ridge-like projections. Leukaemia is a malignant disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs overproduce certain types of white blood cells. These immature and abnormal cells suppress the normal production of white and red cells, thereby increasing the susceptibility to other infections such as anaemia. Magnification: x800 at 35mm size.
