Photomicrograph of subliming naphhalene crystals under polarised light with 1/4 wave T retardation plate. Magnification 100X.
Crystals are formed on a microscope slide from a saturated solution of naphthalene in ethanol. The crystals form rapidly and just as rapidly sublime. Usually only one or two pictures can be made from a single preparation.
