Crystals form according to their chemical structure and the laws of fractal geometry, and this structure is very apparent at the microscopic scale. Here are image galleries for microphotos of different chemical crystals I prepared on microscope slides. All of these images were photographed through polarizing microscopes. Each of the thumbnail images and links below will load galleries of 30-50 thumbnail images in the left frame. Clicking on each thumbnail in the left frame will then load a larger version of the microphoto in the central frame.
