Mescaline crystals, SEM
Mescaline. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of crystals of mescaline. Mescaline is an illegal hallucinogenic drug produced from the dried tops, or buttons, of the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii). This cactus is found growing wild in Texas and Mexico and was used extensively by both Native Americans and Aztecs in religious ceremonies. It is usually taken by chewing the buttons or making them into an infusion. Mescaline produces feelings of euphoria and an altered perception of time, space and colour

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of mescaline crystals, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors and intricate patterns displayed in this false-colored image are truly awe-inspiring. Mescaline, an illegal hallucinogenic drug derived from the dried tops of the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii), has a rich history deeply rooted in Native American and Aztec cultures. This cactus, naturally found in Texas and Mexico, was extensively used by these ancient civilizations during religious ceremonies. The process of consuming mescaline involves either chewing the buttons or creating an infusion to experience its effects. Once ingested, this powerful substance induces euphoria while distorting one's perception of time, space, and color. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the microscopic world of pharmacology. The SEM allows us to explore the intricate details of these mescaline crystals that contribute to their psychoactive properties. It serves as a reminder that even within illicit substances lies remarkable complexity worthy of scientific exploration. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable visual resources like this print for educational purposes only; it is important not to mention any commercial use associated with it.
