Leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion in mesenteric postcapillary venule exposed ischemia and reperfusion. Images were recorded at 10 minutes after reperfusion. The top vessel is a venule (~30 micron diameter) and the lower vessel is an arteriole. The large cell separating the two vessels is an adipocyte.
