I took a microscopy class last week that was pretty fun. The class was interesting, but my favorite part was looking at all the amazing colors through the microscope. I took this picture of some potassium phosphate crystals. They were white and clear until I added them to a liquid that had a refractive index near the refractive index of the crystals. The resulting color change is referred to as dispersion staining. I thought it was beautiful!
