The digital images presented in this gallery were captured using a combination of plane polarized light and Hoffman modulation contrast optical microscopy techniques. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88523 The Molecular Expressions Vitamins Collection contains all of the known vitamins and many biochemicals that were once thought and claimed to be vitamins. We have recrystallized and photographed these biochemicals under the microscope, and members of the collection presented below. The vitamin links lead to progressive JPEG images of vitamins and their derivatives and precursors that range in size from about 35 Kb up to about 85 Kb. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88516 The history of pharmaceutical agents is as old as that of man himself. Since the dawn of time, man has used a wide variety of substances to alleviate pain, fight disease, and improve health. Early remedies were often ineffective and sometimes very dangerous and potentially lethal. Today, there are thousands of natural and synthetic drugs that constitute the pharmaceutical palette of modern physicians. The Molecular Expressions Pharmaceuticals Collection contains over 100 drugs that have been recrystallized and photographed under the microscope. Many of these are presented here and we hope that you enjoy your visit. The Pharmaceutical links below lead to progressive JPEG images of the drugs that range in size from about 35 Kb up to about 85 Kb.
