Oestradiol, female sex hormone, PLM C016 / 7197
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 able to witness the mesmerizing crystals of Oestradiol, also known as beta-Estradiol. As the most potent among the six naturally-occurring oestrogens, Oestradiol plays a crucial role in shaping and developing 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 is essential for maintaining hormonal balance and ensuring proper functioning of reproductive processes in women. However, an excessive production of Oestradiol can lead to feminization even in men. The crystal formations depicted here measure approximately 1.2 mm across and exhibit a stunning blue hue under polarised light microscopy. This image not only captures the scientific significance of hormones but also serves as a testament to their aesthetic allure at microscopic levels. With its profound implications on human physiology and biochemistry, this photograph offers us a glimpse into nature's delicate orchestration of our biological makeup. It reminds us that within every minuscule crystal lies immense power – power that shapes our identities and influences our very existence as individuals with unique experiences tied intricately to these remarkable molecules called hormones.
