The Science Of Things

This is a selection of microscopic photos I took between March and June 2014. All images were created with an low-budget SUPRA SU 1070 microscope using magnifying factors 10x / 40x and a handheld iPhone 4s  camera. - If you want to try this at home, kids, I highly recommend to fix the camera to the microscope. Without it´s just super annoying…

The collection, analysis and transformation of tears into crystalline structures started out somewhat as a distraction from a big heartbreak but eventually left me stunned by the grace of this most elementary chemical process. In the end, beauty is only a matter of perspective.
