In 1992, a research scientist named Michael Davidson began to promote his microphotographs to businesses in order to fund his Florida State University lab.
The images are made by first crystallizing the drink of choice on a lab slide. Using a standard light microscope with a camera attached, the light source is polarized and passed through the crystal which result in the colors and patterns seen below.
