A few days ago I got some pure Vitamin C to experiment with polarized light. It was a beautiful experience, the combination of light patterns and illumination seems endless. I still have not managed the preparation technique, since I don't achieve an even crystallization on the slide. Nevertheless, I was able to complete a very enjoyable observing session and took a few videos. Hope you like them!
My usual equipment is an iPhone 5s mounted on an Amscope b120, with DIY polarization system.
First experience with Vit C crystals
Re: First experience with Vit C crystals
Very nice, I had my first go too a couple of months ago (not as nice as some of the growth shown in your video ).
Out of curiosity; How do you get the zooming out effect... Is it an Iphone App or was it done in something else?

¡Bello video!
La mayor parte de los cristales que muestras son de morfología esferulítica

Muchas gracias, Luis Carlos!
I tried a different technique yesterday. I heated the slide and got a rapid crystallization, ending up with quite different crystals shapes. I really like this one.

Thank you, Chas!
I add the zooming effect using Davinci Resolve. It is called "Dynamic Zoom" and it is quite easy to use.
