Photographic Print : Magnesium chloride crystals
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Magnesium chloride crystals
Polarised light micrograph of crystals of magnesium chloride (MgCl2). Typically, magnesium chloride forms complexes with other molecules; the hygroscopic hexahydrate MgCl2.6H2O is used in moistening cotton threads in spinning, with oxide chlorides (heat on these hydrates) being used in cements. Magnesium (Mg) is an alkaline earth metal, silver white and very light, and may be obtained by electrolysis of magnesium chloride. Magnification: x45 at 4x5 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of magnesium chloride crystals under polarised light. The mesmerizing patterns and vibrant colors are a result of the unique molecular structure of this compound. Magnesium chloride is known to form complexes with other molecules, and in this image, we can observe its hexahydrate form (MgCl2.6H2O), which has hygroscopic properties. Interestingly, these hydrated crystals find practical applications in various industries. One such use is in moistening cotton threads during spinning processes, where the hygroscopic nature of magnesium chloride helps maintain optimal moisture levels. Additionally, oxide chlorides derived from magnesium chloride are utilized in cements due to their binding properties when exposed to heat. Magnesium itself is an alkaline earth metal that possesses remarkable characteristics - it appears silver-white and is exceptionally lightweight. Electrolysis of magnesium chloride allows for the extraction of pure magnesium. With a magnification level of x45 at a 4x5 inch size, this micrograph provides us with a closer look into the world of chemistry and compounds. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary substances like magnesium chloride can exhibit extraordinary beauty when observed through scientific lenses.
