Nanoporous Aluminium Oxide Membranes as Cell Interfaces

Figure 6

Representative SEM micrographs of 20 nm alumina membranes after 4 min (a), 8 min (b), 12 min (c), 20 min (d), 60 min (e), and 120 min (f) of whole blood incubation. The platelet adhesion pattern changes during the course of the experiment with platelet coverage becoming denser over time [73].
