red blood cells!
Red corpuscles or erythrocites, a red blood cell; found in blood, lacks a nucleus, and contains the red pigment haemoglobin.
A picture of human red blood cells (most likely) taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). They are mammalian because they don't have nuclei; cells from reptiles and birds are nucleated. Their size, around 7 micron across is spot on for humans. Lastely, it is very easy to get human samples ;-). They are taken with SEM because you can see a 3D picture, rather than a section if it was a transmission electron micrograph. And the resolution is far better than you would be able to see with a light microscope. Also, the high voltage on the picture indicates that it is EM. What you see is actually a heavy metal "ghost" that has been deposited on the cells in vacuum (sputter coating). So the red "color" is actually "pseudo" converted from an intensity map. Cute.
So what you are trying to say then, is that you don't really know.
