Broad giant-appearing returns above a brown focus
Two giant-appearing capillaries near the left-center, beside longer fine hairpin loops. A brown deposit compatible with a microhemorrhage lies below the row.

Teaching point
Giant capillaries: loops with apical diameter ≥ 50 μm. Precise measurement depends on correct calibration and focus.
Measurements and calibration
For the subset of apices with stable automated measurements, estimated widths span approximately 16–61 µm. These are automated estimates, not manually validated measurements.
Clinical caveat
This image illustrates a visual finding and should be interpreted with acquisition quality, distribution across fingers, clinical context, and serology when relevant.
