Vitamin B3 crystals
Vitamin B3. Polarised light micrograph of vitamin B3 crystals. Vitamin B3 exists in two main forms: niacin and niacinamide. It is one of the B vitamins complex, and takes part in many metabolic reactions. Good sources of vitamin B3 are liver meat, groundnuts and sunflower seeds. Deficiency in the diet causes the disease pellagra. Pellagra symptoms include a swollen tongue, diarrhoea, mental confusion and depression. Magnification: x80 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Vitamin B3 crystals under polarised light. Vitamin B3, also known as niacin or niacinamide, is a crucial component of the B vitamins complex and plays a vital role in numerous metabolic reactions within our bodies. The image reveals the crystalline structure of this essential compound, highlighting its importance in maintaining optimal health and well-being. With an impressive magnification of x80 when printed 10cm wide, every detail is brought to life. Vitamin B3 can be obtained from various sources such as liver meat, groundnuts, and sunflower seeds. Its deficiency in the diet can lead to pellagra - a debilitating disease characterized by symptoms like a swollen tongue, diarrhea, mental confusion, and depression. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are reminded of the critical role that nutrition plays in our lives. The crystal formation serves as a visual representation of how even trace compounds like Vitamin B3 have profound effects on our biochemical processes. This stunning image captures both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal inherent in chemistry and biochemistry studies. It reminds us that there is beauty to be found even at microscopic levels – where nature's wonders often go unnoticed by the naked eye.
