Oestradiol, female sex hormone, PLM C016 / 7210
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 vital female sex hormone. The polarised light micrograph (PLM) reveals stunning crystals of Oestradiol, also known as beta-Estradiol. As the most potent among the six naturally-occurring oestrogens, this hormone plays a crucial role in the development of female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics like breast formation. Secreted by the ovaries, Oestradiol takes center stage as the major controlling hormone in regulating the menstrual cycle. Its presence orchestrates a delicate balance within a woman's body during this natural process. However, it is worth noting that excessive production of Oestradiol in men can lead to feminization. The crystal formations depicted here measure an impressive 3.0 mm across, emphasizing their significance on both a microscopic and macroscopic scale. The mesmerizing blue hue adds an ethereal touch to this scientific marvel. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a world of chemistry and biochemistry intertwined with human biology. This image serves as a reminder of how science unravels nature's secrets through microscopic exploration. Displayed proudly by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only its visual allure but also gain insight into the complex workings of hormones and their impact on our bodies' fundamental processes—truly capturing science's ability to merge artistry with knowledge.
