African Sand Cat, Tiny Worlds Collection
From my Tiny Worlds Collection. This is not an AI created image. The pattern is totally random and interpreted by me, the photographer, and are naturally occurring crystals derived from the dried urine of a Sand Cat (an African wild cat). The crystals are colorless and do not develop until the urine starts to dry. When placed under a microscope and subjected to a special polarized light (Nomarski Illumination) the colors appear. Variations in the thickness of the crystals varies the color.
The crystals are microscopic and are composed of salts containing urates in the form of uric acid.
There is a lot to see in the unseen microscopic world. If one doesn't look, one won't find it.
