Dendritic Caesium Crystals
I recently made several ampoules filled with caesium. When the metal is sufficiently pure and cools down slowly, it forms these beautiful dendritic crystals. So I took some macro photos. I thought some of you might enjoy them.
If you’re interested in a (admittedly rather long) video about the process of making these ampoules: https://youtu.be/qT5XLkATzSI
