Back in 2001, Michael W. Davidson and The Florida State University granted HerbShop.com permission to showcase their exquisite photos of vitamins and foodstuffs taken with a microscope.The design of the HerbShop.com website is being updated, and there may not be a proper area to highlight these wonderful photographs. Therefore, from time to time we'll be posting a photo or two here at HerbBlurbs.com.
Pictured is folic acid.
