Counterfeit drugs analysis. Close-up of pills being dissolved in water as part of testing carried out to detect counterfeit drugs. The time taken for the pills to dissolve helps establish whether they are genuine or fake. Photographed at the Laboratoire Central d'Analyses des Contrefacons (LCAC: Central Anti-Counterfeiting Laboratory) in Tours, France. The LCAC has carried out tens of thousands of analyses since it was founded by the Sanofi-Aventis pharmaceutical company in 2008. Photographed in 2010.
