Teaching point
Giant capillaries: loops with apical diameter ≥ 50 μm. Precise measurement depends on correct calibration and focus.
Measurements and calibration
No recorded physical calibration is available. Giant-capillary morphology is a visual assessment; the ≥50 µm diameter criterion is not confirmed.
Clinical caveat
This image illustrates a visual finding and should be interpreted with acquisition quality, distribution across fingers, clinical context, and serology when relevant.
