more crystals

#1 Post by geo_man » Wed May 01, 2019 10:03 am

Stitched images.

I haven't had much luck with ascorbic acid. The crystals are small and semi- opaque/muddy looking. Any suggestions from the experts? Thanks!

I'm certainly far from an expert, but the images look pretty good to me. If you haven't already you might try varying the drying time, and/or the liquid used. Also some sources of ascorbic acid have more impurities. I'm sure you are already aware of this but just a reminder.

Thanks jimur; yes, I like these too! My challenge has been with ascorbic acid where i've seen others with amazing results. I am working with pure crystal vitamin C, water and alcohol and i generally go for slow evaporation. I'll keep trying! Any other suggestions welcome.
