deep zoom liquid crystal images part 1

Please expand the below zoomable image to fill your screen. These ultra-high resolution images of liquid crystals, taken using polarizing microscopy, have been compiled from multiple images and digitally stitched together. The colours that you see are the same as what you would see down the microscope with your own eyes!

This blog will explore some of the natural beauty and science of liquid crystals.



The image above is taken with a 10X lens, and the below image shows the top part of the above image at an even higher resolution, using a 50X lens, so you can see even finer detail.
