Oestradiol, female sex hormone, PLM C016 / 7213
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 display of crystal formations that represent the essence of femininity and reproductive development. Oestradiol, also known as beta-Estradiol, is one of the most potent naturally-occurring oestrogens. It plays a crucial role in shaping female reproductive structures and secondary sex characteristics like breast formation. Produced by the ovaries, Oestradiol acts as a major controlling hormone in regulating the menstrual cycle. The image reveals delicate blue crystals suspended within its frame, each representing the profound influence this hormone has on our bodies. With an object-size measuring just 0.3 mm across, it highlights both its microscopic nature and immense significance. However, it's important to note that excessive production of Oestradiol in men can lead to feminization—a reminder of how delicate hormonal balance is essential for maintaining gender-specific traits. This photograph not only captures the scientific marvels hidden within our bodies but also serves as a testament to the wonders of biochemistry and microscopic photography. It reminds us that even at such minuscule scales, hormones like Oestradiol hold tremendous power over our physical identities and reproductive processes.
