Abcorbic acid crystals (SEM) C013 / 7830
Ascorbic acid crystals or vitamin C, showing the monoclinic crystal structure of the pure form (characterised by 3 unequal axes, one pair of which are not at right angles). Compared to other vitamins, vitamin C has the simplest molecular structure. Vitamins are organic substances required by the body in small concentrations. Magnification x114 (x24 at 10cm wide)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of abcorbic acid crystals, also known as vitamin C. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image reveals the pure form of this essential compound, highlighting its monoclinic crystal structure characterized by three unequal axes, with one pair not at right angles. Vitamin C stands out among other vitamins due to its remarkably simple molecular structure. As a vital organic substance required by our bodies in small concentrations, it plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes. These crystals exemplify the purity and potency of this important nutrient. Magnified 114 times (or 24 times when viewed at a width of 10cm), every detail is brought to life in this stunning micrograph. The intricate arrangement of these crystals unveils their unique composition and provides valuable insights into their chemical properties. Through advancements in microscopy technology like SEM, we gain a deeper understanding of compounds such as vitamin C on a microscopic level. This photograph serves as both an artistic representation and scientific documentation that bridges the gap between chemistry and biochemistry. Captured by Power and Syred for Science Photo Library, this image invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within nature's building blocks while reminding us of the importance of vitamins for our overall well-being.
