Aspirin crystals, light micrograph
Aspirin crystals, polarized light micrograph. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is an analgesic (pain-relieving) drug. It is a non-prescription drug and is used to relieve general pain such as headaches. Aspirin is also used to thin the blood, which reduces the risk of blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes. Magnification: x60 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of aspirin crystals under polarized light. The image reveals a mesmerizing array of crystalline structures, highlighting the fascinating world of chemistry and pharmacology. Aspirin, known scientifically as acetylsalicylic acid, is a widely used analgesic drug that provides relief from various types of pain, including headaches. Beyond its pain-relieving properties, aspirin also acts as an anticoagulant or blood thinner. This crucial function helps reduce the risk of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. With a magnification level of x60 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph allows us to appreciate the delicate details within each crystal formation. It serves as a reminder of the complex nature behind everyday medications and their impact on our well-being. While aspirin is readily available over-the-counter (OTC) without requiring a prescription, it should be noted that this caption does not endorse any specific company or commercial use. Instead, it aims to celebrate the scientific marvels captured by Science Photo Library in collaboration with talented researchers and photographers who bring these microscopic wonders into focus for all to admire.
