The Saga Continues
I may have been putting off this post perhaps because it is not as fun reporting as good news.
I went to APS a couple of months ago to collect data on the miracle crystals (see link above). Cory from Emerald Biosystems was able to swing by (at nearly midnight!) and mount then plunge the crystals. Despite the channels being narrow, the mounting process is easy and by adding the appropriate buffer after opening the card there is no need to rush. I then transfered and screened the crystals. The result…
Salt crystals…
The crystals had a number of different morphologies, but unfortunately they were all salt crystals.
Although I have seen many others have the fun of collecting on salt crystals this was my first time. If you haven’t had the experience it is like watching a unicorn die.
