Hi All,
I have been a bit absent of late, a combination of live, two kids and various hobbies have taken up most of my time. I must say the HA system has for the most part been working very well since I have not had time to tinker with it, "he who leaves it alone displays the greatest HA uptime" I think is the saying by Socrates (or I could have made it up...).
One of my hobbies has been having a look at the structure of a range of chemicals under the microscope, doing this lets you see incredible patterns that form during evaporation, and in certain chemicals there is a property called birefringence, this means the refractive index changes based on the angle of light, degree of polarization etc, the end result is fantastic colors.
his image is of a compound called Sodium Thiosulfate, used for heaps of different things from neutralizing chlorine to photographic processing. I have a full writeup which I won't post, but for a few more pics and how it was prepared etc there is a blog entry at my site http://www.travishale.com/sodium-thiosulfate-polarized-light-microscopy/
