Time-release drug capsule, SEM
Time-release drug capsule, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Once swallowed, the outer layer of the capsule breaks, releasing the smaller capsules (balls) that contain the drug. These are coated in layers that dissolve at different rates, ensuring the drug they contain is released at different times. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate design of a time-release drug capsule. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are given a glimpse into the inner workings of this pharmaceutical marvel. Once ingested, the outer layer of the capsule breaks open, revealing smaller capsules resembling tiny balls that contain the potent drug within. What makes this time-release capsule truly remarkable is its unique coating. Each layer dissolves at different rates, ensuring that the drug is released gradually over an extended period of time. This innovative mechanism guarantees optimal therapeutic effects and allows for precise control over dosage intervals. The magnification level remains unknown, but even at this scale, one cannot help but appreciate the complexity and precision involved in creating such a medical breakthrough. The grains and granules visible within each small capsule represent individual doses carefully formulated to meet specific treatment requirements. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how science continues to push boundaries in healthcare. It highlights not only our ability to develop advanced pharmaceutical solutions but also our dedication to improving patient outcomes through cutting-edge technology and research.
