Crystals Photographed with Polarisation and Extreme Macro
Crystals of various chemicals like Ascorbic Acid and Citric Acid and every-day liquids such as Sugar, Salt solution or even tear drops can reveal some beautiful colors and patterns when looked through polarised light and at high magnification. You can use microscope or a extreme macro setup or even your mobile with some macro adapters to observe these beautiful patterns.
