Here are a few photos of my first attempt at photographing crystals with polarised light. I used Citric Acid in water. It took an age to evaporate and when I put the slide under the microscope I could only find one crystal.
I looked at the image of it on the computer but it wasn't very interesting so I went back for another look and a whole crystal-scape was forming in front of my eyes!
