    Hello and welcome, thanks for posting (and apologies for not responding sooner). It’s a really beautiful photo how did you go about taking it?

      I have access to a very nice digital microscope, then I just happened to find an interesting spot in the crystal.

        Lucky you!

        I’ve seen some incredible photographs taken with them, so it must be fun to get the chance to play around with one, (and even if you’re not taking photos it would still be great to play with). I’m guessing that it’s a work based microscope, it must be a very pricey piece of kit
