Vitamin C crystals, PLM
Vitamin C crystals, polarised light micrograph. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a chemical essential for good health. It is required for the production of collagen, the main constituent in connective tissue, acts as a reducing agent to maintain cellular health, and as an antioxidant to help mop up destructive free radicals. Vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy, causing bleeding and bruising, loose teeth, a weakened immune system and anaemia. It is fatal if left untreated. Most animals can produce their own vitamin C

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Vitamin C crystals under polarised light micrograph. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a vital chemical compound essential for maintaining good health. It plays a crucial role in collagen production, which forms the foundation of connective tissues in our body. Additionally, it acts as a powerful reducing agent that supports cellular health and functions as an antioxidant to combat harmful free radicals. The consequences of Vitamin C deficiency can be severe and lead to scurvy—a condition characterized by bleeding and bruising, loose teeth, weakened immune system, and anaemia. If left untreated, scurvy can prove fatal. Interestingly, while most animals have the ability to produce their own vitamin C internally, humans are unable to do so and must obtain this nutrient through external sources. This mesmerizing image not only highlights the biological significance of vitamin C but also serves as a reminder of its importance in our daily lives. As we marvel at these crystal formations captured by the light microscope's polarised technique, let us appreciate how this simple compound contributes immensely towards our overall well-being and emphasizes the critical role nutrition plays in maintaining optimal health.
