| Image Description: |
|
In this delightfully artistic image, red blood cells lie in respose on a glass plate, with respirocytes scattered randomly about nearby. One nanorobot rests in the central cleft of a red cell. The image is a simulated view of a blood sample that might be taken from some future trauma patient who has received approximately seven therapeutic respirocyte doses at an accident scene. Each single respirocyte in the scene can control nearly the same amount of available oxygen as all eight red cells present in the scene, combined. |
