Human sickle cell RBC scanning electron micrograph (SEM)

This scanning electron micrograph (SEM) shows the ultrastructural morphology of a sickle cell RBC found in a blood specimen of an 18 year old female patient with sickle cell anemia, (HbSS).

People who have this form of sickle cell disease inherit two sickle cell genes (“S”), one from each parent. This is commonly called “sickle cell anemia”, and is usually the most severe form of the disease.

The name comes from the "sickle" shape of the RBC compared to the normal "donut" shape.
