Making Stunning Images Tabletop electron microscope accelerates research into clotting and bleeding CASE STUDY Synapse BV Coagulation of blood is a complicated and critical process. At Maastricht University and Synapse, fundamental research is taking place to develop practical detection methods for thrombosis and bleeding. A good snapshot of the clotting helps researchers gain a better grasp of the phenomenon. Synapse is using a Thermo Scientific Phenom Desktop SEM for this purpose. With the support of advanced software, this table model electron microscope accelerates the analysis of a blood sample from three days to three minutes. If the interaction of clotting factors in the blood is not functioning properly, the clotting may be too strong (thrombosis) or too weak (spontaneous
