Barium. Vial containing a sample of the alkaline earth metal barium (Ba)
Barium. Vial containing a sample of the alkaline earth metal barium (Ba). Barium has few industrial applications. Barium sulphate is used for its density, insolubility, and X-ray opacity. It is used as an insoluble heavy additive to oil well drilling mud, and in purer form, as an X-ray radiocontrast agent for imaging the human gastrointestinal tract

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the element barium, a rare alkaline earth metal with limited industrial applications. The image features a vial containing a sample of pure barium, emphasizing its metallic nature and highlighting its unique properties. Barium sulphate, known for its density, insolubility, and X-ray opacity, finds utility in various fields. One significant application of barium sulphate is as an additive to oil well drilling mud. Its heavy and insoluble characteristics make it ideal for this purpose. Additionally, in purer form, barium sulphate serves as an X-ray radiocontrast agent used in medical imaging of the human gastrointestinal tract. This compound's ability to enhance visibility during X-rays enables accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The composition of the photograph exudes elegance through a studio shot against a sleek chrome background. The specimen is meticulously displayed within a glass container or phial that adds an artistic touch to this still life arrangement. With mineralogy enthusiasts in mind, Science Photo Library has beautifully captured the essence of this elemental substance.
