Photos of what drugs look like under a microscope 3

Have you ever wondered what ketamine, speed and Prozac really look like? You may or may not be familiar with the sensory experience of the various legal and illegal substances, but we're pretty sure you've never sat down with a microscope and pored over the celestial images that are hiding inside within.
 SPEED
Enter German artist Sarah Schönfeld, who's performed a similar experiment in her project "All You Can Feel." Whether depicting methamphetamine, heroin or ecstasy, her images present an astonishing side of pseudo-alchemy, the result of sprinkling psychotropics and neurotransmitters onto photographic negatives and subjecting the swatches to the typical photographic process. What remains are tumbling landscapes, planetary scenes and crystallized universes, dancing about in a manner eerily similar to the feelings you might associate with each respective substance.
 ESCSTASY
So what moved the Berlin-based artist to take a deeper look at the mystical world of drugs?
"I worked in the club Berghain for many years," she explained, "and my father has been on Haldol [or Haloperidol] since I was born, so I was kind of surrounded by the question of what substances do to your character and soul."
 KETAMINE
See a preview of Schönfeld's zoomed-in "photographs" -- presented in a book by the same name -- below and let us know your thoughts on her unique science adventure in the comments. To see more of her work, check out her website here.
 HEROINE
 LSD
 GHB
 CRYSTAL METH
 MDMA
 CAFFINE
 COCAINE
 OPIUM
 DOPAMINE

I don't believe any of these are microscope pictures. I believe they were all taken by simply applying the drug to photographic film and then developing it so depending the development process and how you apply the chemicals you would get a different photo everytime.

Since most of these drugs in their pure form are water white crystalline solids they would all look fairly similar with only the crystal shapes differing from each other.
And yes these pics are pretty sweet.

Right. They do get magnified a lot in their process, so crystals of these drugs under the microscope would probably resemble these images. This method gives nicer quality images than microscopes generally do.

And to say I was going to have to buy fugels Book of microcrystalline tests woohoo bookmarked this shit When you add chemical reagent put it on a microsco slide. All drugs form a different crystal almost like a fingerprint

I was thinking the same thing! The others have some trippy looks to them, but LSD seems to be the most...solid?

Really wish there was a DMT picture. Or a mescaline one too.

Very cool! Exactly how I imagined caffeine. Needles jabbing you forcing you to stay awake.

No psilocybin? That's really disappointing, but that speed!
