Polarised LM of niacinamide crystals
Nicotinamide. Polarised light micrograph of crystals of nicotinamide, or niacinamide. This is the amide of nicotinic acid. The acid and amide are both B vitamins, and are equally active. Nicotinamide is a component of two vital coenzymes, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and its phosphate NADP, which are responsible for electron transport in cellular respiration. A deficiency of these and other B vitamins may lead to pellagra, shown by severe dermatitis, diarrhoea and depression. Sources of niacinamide include vegetables, lean meat, milk and some cereals (but not maize). Magnification x16 at 6x7cm size. Magnification: x27 at 5x4 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases polarised light micrograph of niacinamide crystals, also known as nicotinamide. These crystals represent the amide form of nicotinic acid, both being essential B vitamins with equal potency. Nicotinamide plays a crucial role as a component in two vital coenzymes - NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and its phosphate NADP. These coenzymes are responsible for facilitating electron transport during cellular respiration. The significance of maintaining adequate levels of these B vitamins cannot be overstated, as their deficiency can lead to pellagra - a condition characterized by severe dermatitis, diarrhea, and depression. To prevent such deficiencies, sources rich in niacinamide include vegetables, lean meat, milk, and select cereals (excluding maize). Under magnification x16 at 6x7cm size or x27 at 5x4 inch size, this mesmerizing image reveals the intricate beauty within these crystalline structures. The vibrant colors and unique patterns displayed through this polarised light micrograph offer an intriguing glimpse into the world of biochemistry. This stunning photograph is brought to you by Science Photo Library – experts in capturing microscopic wonders that unravel the secrets hidden within compounds and subjects related to crystallography and chemistry.
