Baking soda crystals, SEM C016 / 8041
Sodium bicarbonate. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of crystals of sodium bicarbonate (or sodium hydrogen carbonate). Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid commonly used in baking powder. It may also be used as a neutralising antacid to treat stomach and digestive disorders, and in cases of sodium deficiency. Magnification: x330 when printed 10 centimetres high

This print showcases the intricate beauty of baking soda crystals, as captured by a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals an up-close view of sodium bicarbonate crystals, also known as sodium hydrogen carbonate. These white crystalline structures are commonly used in baking powder to aid in leavening and create fluffy baked goods. Beyond its culinary applications, sodium bicarbonate serves various other purposes. It can be employed as a neutralizing antacid to alleviate stomach and digestive disorders. Additionally, it is utilized in cases of sodium deficiency where supplementation is required. The magnification level of x330 allows for detailed observation when printed at 10 centimeters high. Against a striking black background, the colored crystal formations stand out vividly, highlighting their unique structure and composition. This photograph not only captures the aesthetic appeal of these crystals but also provides valuable insights into the world of chemistry and mineralogy. Its scientific significance lies in showcasing the crystallized nature of this versatile compound while offering a glimpse into its microscopic intricacies. Stefan Diller's expert lens has beautifully immortalized this moment under the scanning electron microscope, allowing viewers to appreciate the mesmerizing beauty hidden within everyday substances like baking soda crystals.
