dylan, eat your heart out
August 28, 2006 at 2:59 pm | sam | cool results, everyday scienceDylan at tenderbutton is always posting about his beautiful crystals. But I’ve one-uped him, because I did it the lazy way and with no usable results: I made crystals of my dyes by letting the waste beaker dry in the hood. I know, that’s a lab-safety no-no, but it was a mistake. And the results were cool!
Figure 1. The crystals under room lights.
Figure 2. The crystals under UV illumination. Note the heterogeneous fluorescence, a neato result of mixing a bunch of dyes and solvents together and letting evaporation do all the work.
