Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Cortisol crystals, light micrograph
Cortisol crystals, polarised light micrograph. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. It is released in response to stress, and increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Cortisol also suppresses the immune system, so is used in medicine (known as hydrocortisone) as an anti-inflammatory and to treat allergies

"Discover the intricacy of science with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of Cortisol crystals. This stunning light micrograph, sourced from Science Photo Library, showcases the unique structure of this essential steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Bring the wonders of science into your home or office with this visually engaging and educational poster print."
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of cortisol crystals under polarised light. Cortisol, a vital steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, plays a crucial role in our body's response to stress. As we face challenging situations, cortisol is released into our bloodstream, elevating blood pressure and sugar levels. Beyond its influence on physiological processes, cortisol also possesses remarkable medicinal properties. In medicine, it is commonly known as hydrocortisone and serves as an anti-inflammatory agent and allergy treatment due to its ability to suppress the immune system. The crystal's vibrant colors add an artistic touch to this biological marvel captured through a light microscope. The image not only highlights the compound's crystalline structure but also symbolizes the complex interplay between biology and chemistry within our bodies. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of biochemistry and endocrinology while reminding us of how hormones like cortisol regulate various bodily functions. As we explore this mesmerizing photograph from Science Photo Library, let us appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance. Through such visual representations, we gain insight into the wonders of nature that often go unnoticed in our everyday lives.
