Ascorbic Acid

Post by Olympusman »

Ascorbic Acid. Our local compounding pharmacy where we pay a fortune for our cat meds questioned why I wanted pure Ascorbic Acid and after showing them one of my albums of my images finally agreed to sell me the stuff ( apparently there is a huge underground black market for hard Vitamin C which was unaware of.

I've been experimenting with solution concentrations and evaporation rates to see how the chemical crystalizes. The series the other day was a saturated solution dried on a windowsill.
Today's series is from a set of drops from a bottle immersed in hot tap water for 30 minutes.
None of these are crops of the original slides - they are either stitched horizontally or vertically in Microsoft ICE from two to four captures in an Olympus E-330..
