A few days ago I tried observing a wet mount of my own blood. The very same slide now has a large number of fibrin networks, the end result of the various steps of pathways that lead to clotting of blood.
These fibrin networks not only prevent leaking of blood out of a vessel, they also trap cells within them effectively! This is good when it comes to preventing spread of pathogenic cells to other parts of the body.
These look very beautiful microscopically. The images are as below

The final image also shows some air bubbles that ended up trapped in the fibrin network.
Thanks for the read,
