D, hydrogel and galaxia

The drop that wouldn't dry out.

I said that I would post pics of the vitamin D gel cap droplet after it dried. After 10 odd days I pulled it out and the drop of clear liquid had not even reduced in size so I hit it with a jet burner.

It took about 5 minutes chasing that drop around the slide to get it to partially dry and I took pics of the dried bit. After trying to look at it in its gel form where there was nothing but a perfectly clear liquid the results were a bit surprising. Galaxies of multi colored dots that mostly refused to be focusable. Haven’t seen anything like it before and it warrants further playing with.

The bit of the gel cap at the other end of the slide also melted exposing a few fibres and this is the exit point of one.

The other end of the same fibre continued into another bit of cap.

Final droplets. It was a 108 mp pic and if you zoom in you will see the shapes of the particles. All pics are x 10 x 15 ( + x 2 < 10 digital ) The colors were a lot more defined optically and a bit hard to capture.

I purposely went out of focus here to show that many of the colored particles grouped together. Mainly the blue , red and yellow ones.

And this one refused to have any focal point at all.

And again if you zoom right in you will find hexagrams and perfect squares etc. Galaxia.

A bonus find.. The green fibre before I decided to feed it some blood to watch for a reaction. Wondered where it had gone.

Greeny no 2 from same sample.
