Low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy (LVSEM) images of erythrocyte morphological types from five patients with severe COVID-19. The panel shows a spectrum of poikilocytes associated with COVID-19 microangiopathy, including schistocytes (fragmented erythrocytes) alongside echinocytes and other abnormal red blood cell forms. Scale bar equals 3 micrometres. (human (severe COVID-19); Figure 3.)
