Aspirin crystals, SEM
Aspirin crystals, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is taken for its painkilling (analgesic) properties, and it also helps to reduce fevers. It can also reduce blood clotting, and is used to treat heart attack patients and those at risk from a stroke. Side-effects include erosion of the stomach lining, which may lead to gastric ulcers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of aspirin crystals, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the microscopic world of this widely used medication. Aspirin, known chemically as acetylsalicylic acid, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) renowned for its analgesic properties and ability to alleviate pain. Additionally, it possesses fever-reducing capabilities and can even help prevent blood clotting in patients at risk of heart attacks or strokes. The image not only highlights the crystal structure but also serves as a reminder of the pharmacological power held within these tiny formations. However, it's important to note that despite its numerous benefits, aspirin does come with potential side effects such as erosion of the stomach lining leading to gastric ulcers. Through this visually stunning representation, Science Photo Library offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the scientific and aesthetic aspects of medicine. This photograph provides insight into the chemical composition and complexity behind our everyday pharmaceuticals while reminding us of their significant role in healthcare.
