Female sex hormone
Female sex hormone. Polarised light micrograph of crystals of Oestradiol, also known as beta- Estradiol. This is the most potent of the six naturally-occurring oestrogens, the class of hormones associated with the development of female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics (such as breast formation). Oestradiol is secreted by the ovaries, and is the major controlling hormone in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. In men excessive production of oestradiol leads to feminization.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of female sex hormones. In this polarised light micrograph, we are presented with a mesmerizing view of crystals of Oestradiol, also known as beta-Estradiol. As the most potent among the six naturally-occurring oestrogens, Oestradiol plays a pivotal role in the development of female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics like breast formation. Secreted by the ovaries, Oestradiol takes center stage as the major controlling hormone in regulating the menstrual cycle. Its presence orchestrates a delicate balance within a woman's body, ensuring everything functions harmoniously during this crucial phase. However, it is worth noting that excessive production of Oestradiol can lead to feminization even in men. This fascinating phenomenon highlights just how influential these tiny crystals can be on our bodies and overall well-being. Magnified at x20 and captured on a 6x7cm scale, this image offers us an up-close glimpse into the world of biochemistry and human physiology. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more happening beneath our skin than meets the eye. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring visual representation that not only educates but also captivates viewers with its sheer elegance and scientific significance.
