Insulin crystals, light micrograph C017 / 8249
Insulin. Polarised light micrograph (PLM) of crystals of the hormone insulin. The insulin molecule is made up of two chains of amino acids (A & B chains), which are held together by two sulphur bonds. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas by cells of the islets of Langerhans. Its function is to regulate blood sugar levels. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood, causing the condition diabetes mellitus. Low magnification micrograph with polarised light. Horizontal object size 3 mm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of insulin crystals, as seen under polarised light. The image reveals the molecular structure of insulin, a vital hormone produced in the pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels. Composed of two chains of amino acids (A & B chains) connected by sulphur bonds, insulin plays a crucial role in preventing glucose accumulation in the bloodstream. The mesmerizing colors and patterns captured in this low magnification micrograph highlight the complexity and elegance of these crystals. Each crystal represents a microscopic world within itself, offering a glimpse into the fascinating realm of biochemistry. Insufficient production of insulin can lead to diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the delicate balance that exists within our bodies and the importance of understanding and appreciating its inner workings. As we marvel at this scientific wonder through artful photography, it is essential to recognize that this image holds more than just aesthetic value; it symbolizes years of research and discovery aimed at improving human health.
