Equipment setup. P1 is the first polarizing sheet (polarizer), P2 is the second polarizer (analyzer) and on the far right is the camera. The sample is placed between the two polarizing sheets.
Amazing colors can be created in frozen ice crystals. Here ice crystals begin to form as the water freezes. The water was placed in a clear glass petri dish between two polarizing filters. Photographed at about 1x magnification.
