In this image the crystal shape of the salt, normal refined salt found in the CDS salt shakers, is seen. This photo is particularly interesting because there appears to be a fracture in the salt crystal that can be seen.

This Salt sample was collected at 9:35 on 5/31/19 from a CDS salt shaker in Blacker.

This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The Salt was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around. The foldoscope was then rested onto a phone that was displaying a white background and a second phone was used to record the image. The phone was used over ambient light so that a more precise light control could be used. The magnification of the foldoscope was changed until the picture was clearly in focus. A photo was then taken of the specimen.
