Optical activity
Optical activity. Image 1 of 2. Optical activity of fructose demonstrated by using polarized light. Optically active compounds rotate light waves that pass through them. This can only be seen under polarized light, light that vibrates in one direction only and is produced by using a polarizing filter. Polarized light passes through the fructose, and then through another polarizing filter. The second filter shows fructoses optical activity strengthening one of the colours of the light. The colour depends on the relative angles of the filters (here 75 degrees). Different angles produce different colours, as seen in A350/126-7

Discover the fascinating world of optics with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of "Optical Activity" by Science Photo Library. Witness the mesmerizing rotation of light waves as they pass through optically active compounds like fructose, showcased in this stunning photograph. Our high-quality poster prints bring the wonders of science right into your home or office, igniting curiosity and inspiring exploration. Order now and add a touch of scientific intrigue to your space.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 56.3cm x 42cm (22.2" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the phenomenon of optical activity, specifically in fructose. Optical activity refers to the ability of certain compounds to rotate light waves that pass through them. However, this rotation can only be observed under polarized light, which vibrates in a single direction and is achieved using a polarizing filter. In this image, we witness the demonstration of fructose's optical activity using two polarizing filters. The first filter allows polarized light to pass through the fructose solution, while the second filter reveals how fructose strengthens one particular color of light. The specific color displayed depends on the relative angles between these filters - here set at 75 degrees. The experiment highlights an intriguing property of organic compounds like fructose and provides valuable insight into their chemical makeup. It serves as a testament to the power of scientific exploration and experimentation within laboratory settings. Through its vibrant colors and intricate apparatus, this photograph captures both the beauty and complexity inherent in studying physical effects such as polarization and optical activity. It reminds us of how science constantly unravels nature's secrets by unveiling hidden properties that may go unnoticed by our naked eyes alone.
