Vitamin B1 crystals, light micrograph
Vitamin B1 crystals, polarised light micrograph. Vitamin B1, also called thiamine, is an essential nutrient that humans are unable to produce and so need to obtain from their diet. It is found in flour, beans, pork and salmon. Vitamin B1 is important for the normal function of the heart, muscles and nervous system, as well as normal growth and development. Deficiency can lead to the disease beriberi, which causes weight loss, emotional disturbances, and limb pain and weakness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Vitamin B1 crystals under polarised light. Also known as thiamine, Vitamin B1 is a vital nutrient that our bodies cannot produce and must be obtained through our diet. Flour, beans, pork, and salmon are rich sources of this essential vitamin. Beyond its role in maintaining a healthy diet, Vitamin B1 plays a crucial part in the normal functioning of our heart, muscles, and nervous system. It also contributes to proper growth and development. A deficiency in this important nutrient can lead to beriberi—a debilitating disease characterized by weight loss, emotional disturbances, limb pain, and weakness. The crystal-clear image captured by the light microscope not only highlights the crystalline structure of these essential compounds but also symbolizes their significance for human health. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex biochemistry behind our dietary needs. Science Photo Library brings us closer to understanding the wonders of biology with their stunning visuals. Through images like this one—showcasing vitamins at their most fundamental level—we gain an appreciation for how nutrition impacts every aspect of our lives. Let this mesmerizing print inspire you to prioritize your own well-being by ensuring you receive adequate amounts of Vitamin B1 in your daily diet or through supplements if necessary.
