Oestradiol, female sex hormone, PLM C016 / 7202
Female sex hormone. Polarised light micrograph (PLM) of crystals of Oestradiol, also known as beta- Estradiol. This is the most potent of the six naturally-occurring oestrogens, the class of hormones associated with the development of female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics (such as breast formation). Oestradiol is secreted by the ovaries, and is the major controlling hormone in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. In men excessive production of oestradiol leads to feminization.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Oestradiol, a powerful female sex hormone. In this polarised light micrograph (PLM), we are presented with a mesmerizing view of crystals formed by Oestradiol, also known as beta-Estradiol. As one of the six naturally-occurring oestrogens, Oestradiol plays a crucial role in shaping the development of female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics like breast formation. Secreted by the ovaries, Oestradiol takes center stage as the primary controlling hormone in regulating the menstrual cycle. Its influence extends beyond women's health; excessive production of this hormone in men can lead to feminization. The crystal formations depicted here measure just 0.6 mm across but pack an immense visual impact. The vibrant blue hues and intricate patterns invite us into a microscopic world that holds profound significance for human biology and chemistry. This image not only captures our attention but also sparks curiosity about biochemistry and hormonal processes within our bodies. It serves as a reminder that even at such minute scales, nature's creations possess remarkable complexity and elegance. Credit: PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
