Caffeine crystals, light micrograph
Caffeine crystals. Polarised light micrograph of crystals of caffeine (1, 3, 7- trimethylxanthine). Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system increasing alertness and deferring fatigue. Caffeine is also a diuretic, (it increase the removal of water from the body) and has laxative properties. It is widely known for its presence in coffee beans and tea leaves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of caffeine crystals under a polarised light micrograph. The mesmerizing pattern formed by these crystalline structures is a testament to the organic nature of this powerful substance. Caffeine, scientifically known as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, is widely recognized for its stimulating effects on the central nervous system. As an essential component in coffee beans and tea leaves, caffeine has become synonymous with increased alertness and postponed fatigue. Beyond its energizing properties, this compound also acts as a diuretic by promoting water removal from the body and possesses laxative qualities. The image captures the essence of caffeine's pharmacological significance in medicine and chemistry. Its crystallised form represents both its scientific relevance and aesthetic appeal when viewed through a light microscope. This visual exploration offers insight into the molecular structure that contributes to caffeine's unique properties. Alfred Pasieka's skillful capture invites us to appreciate not only the scientific intricacies but also the artistic allure found within natural substances such as caffeine crystals. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, there exists immense beauty waiting to be discovered in our everyday world.
