Crystals are very unique in their properties, appearance, behavoiour

Looking at the amazing phenomenon of crystal growth

Always wanted to see the growing crystals of compounds, Even though the entire view is so breathtaking at the macro level, I was very much keen in looking at this phenomenon at microscopic level. It was never so easy to look at the entire process and ease of capturing the entire event in phone has made my day. Thanks to foldscope

In lab, we all uses a procedure called recrystallization to purify crude compounds, still the problem of impurities can be there

Foldscope can be used to look at the structure of the crystals of the compounds being recrystallized and impurities can be screened down easily.
