Potassium Ferrocyanide Crystals - Pol Illumination

Post by Mike »

Hello All,

Still working to get the 'kinks' out of my technique - a slow process as one gets older!

At any rate, here is one of my favorite subjects, KFe2CN solubilized in water and allowed to air dry.

All the best,

Hi Mike. Beautiful. The image appears to show depth. Is it flat on the glass slide? Walt

Hello,

Thanks for the comments!

Walt - yes, just re-crystalized solution on a slide without cover; I am surprised at the apparent depth, although part of that is likely due to large crystals one sometimes gets with this material and/or the low mag being used, think it was either 6.3X or 16X.

Seems to always be something different!

All the best,
Mike
