Here’s a small collection of images I’ve produced at home over the past year. Each is a polarized light microscopy panorama. I have an old Olympus microscope purchased on ebay which I’ve attached my DSLR to with a home-made rig. I collect, and then through various means, crystalize substances to photograph.

Each substance is unique in its forms and each has several different expressions dependent on the conditions during crystallization. The colors are the result of polarizing filters; just like you’d find in your sunglasses. Polarized light interacts with the birefringent properties of the crystals, creating a myriad of colorful landscapes.
