PLM of crystals of testosterone
^BMale sex hormone.^b Polarised light micrograph of crystals of testosterone. Testosterone is the main human androgen, the class of steroid hormones responsible for the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics. It is mainly produced in the testes by the action of a series of enzymes on pregnenolone, a steroid derived from cholesterol. Testosterone may be used in hormone replacement therapy to treat delayed puberty in boys, hypogonadism and some types of impotence. In women, testosterone may be effective in the treatment of breast cancer. Magnification: x8 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of testosterone crystals under polarised light. Testosterone, known as the primary male sex hormone, plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Produced primarily in the testes through enzymatic reactions on pregnenolone, a cholesterol-derived steroid, testosterone also finds applications in hormone replacement therapy for delayed puberty in boys, hypogonadism, and certain types of impotence. The mesmerizing image reveals an up-close view of these crystalline structures that embody masculinity and vitality. With a magnification factor of x8 at 35mm size, every detail is brought to life with precision. The crystal formation represents not only the chemical composition but also symbolizes strength and resilience. Beyond its significance for males, testosterone has shown potential benefits for women as well. In breast cancer treatment, this hormone may prove effective in combating the disease. As we explore this remarkable photograph taken by Science Photo Library's expert lensmen/women (not affiliated with any commercial entity), we are reminded of how science intertwines with art to create awe-inspiring visuals that deepen our understanding of biochemistry and compounds. The PLM technique employed here allows us to appreciate both the scientific importance and aesthetic allure encapsulated within this single frame.
