Crystals of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Ascorbic acid is an essential vitamin found in fruit and green vegetables and is needed for the growth and maintenance of bones, teeth, skin and blood vessels. It is also a powerful anti-oxidant. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to scurvy, which causes bleeding gums and anaemia. The image was made using polarized light microscopy, which selectively picks up light coming from the crystals in specific directions Credit: Marek Mis via Science Photo Library

Surface of a cannabis leaf (Cannabis sativa). The pointed hairs are called lithocyst cells, containing cystolyths (calcium carbonate crystals). Glandular cells called trichomes are present in the foreground. Capitate trichomes have stalks, whereas peltate trichomes are rounded and closer to the leaf surface. Trichomes secrete a resin containing tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the main psychoactive part of the cannabis plant, used as a drug.

Surface of a kidney stone. These hard deposits are made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys, often when urine becomes concentrated, which allows the minerals to crystallize and stick together. Kidney stones can affect any part of the urinary tract, from kidneys to bladder, with varying levels of severity, depending on size.

Surface of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) electrostatic sail, or radial motion actuator. MEMS devices are constructed on a microscopic scale, typically from silicon or polymers, and are used in, for example, sensors and optical displays. This prototype has a special structure in the centre that has a negative Poisson ratio, meaning that it expands laterally when it is stretched, unlike most materials which normally get thinner when stretched.
