(a) Enhanced tracks of two VWF : IgG : FITC platelet-decorated aggregates. (b) Size distribution histogram presented in a log scale due to the high number of single platelets. (c) Enhanced tracks of single VWF-coated platelets without a fibrin mesh (top) and VWF-platelet aggregates within a fibrin mesh (bottom). The velocity in μm/s is indicated under each track. In the latter case, the aggregates have a much lower velocity.
