Vitamin C
Vitamin C is amazing stuff. It just generates the most colorful patterns.
These pictures are the first time I tried messing with the growth. To sped up the evaporation of the solvent (water) I'm using a hot plate set at about 70C. At one point I took the partially crystallized slide off the plate to look at it under the microscope. The crystals continued to grow (fantastic to watch) but they got bigger.
I decided to manipulate the patterns by pulling the slide on and off the hot plate. So the bigger crystals are hot grown and the smaller room temperature.
Cheers.
