beest hasn't seen the images yet, but says he's "not impressed because they're artificially seeded"

It's looks like Corona is made from peacocks, Bass from tar and Lucozade, and Beck's from acid.

Y'know, when I read the thread title I thought someone had invented 'instant beer' crystals that could be added to water like instant coffee.

There's a Nobel Prize waiting for the first guy to do it.

The technical page I linked explains they decided to go with seed crystallization technique, because it gave the greatest variety of pictures. The other methods provided little difference, and this being a fun project rather than a scientific one, they were after as many pretty pictures as possible. The rest of the site has plenty of scientifically accurate pictures.

Oh, and tell beest he's a microscopy snob.

Turntable -> (cheap) preamp -> computer.

Not much geek cred to be had there, Beest. Sorry.

I just plugged it in and it worked, now I need to reord a clip longer than 60 seconds, I'll go and dig out some threads.

winter sport is trying to SEM a snowflake, for me it has to be a fresh fallen snowflake, it has been done, but i think they grew theirs .

Anyway the beer guys will be on the invite list for my next Microscopy Conference.

I once applied for a job doing microscopy on ice cream for Walls ( Good Humor) the size, shape and distribution of fat particles is what makes it taste creamy (fat in ice cream, who knew!), ice crytals affect the taste too.

X-ray Diffraction of Chocolate is also a career objective.

It's shareware ($40), but I can vouch for Wave Corrector.

It does everything I need:
Record a whole side of an album.
Split it into tracks.
Declick it.
And save the tracks to disk.
