  • Could you explain what we are looking at in the alt? Thanks. Chick Bowen 23:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • A similar ampoule as the one on to, except that caesium crystallized instead of just solidifying. Caesium melts around room temperature; so you can melt it by hlding the ampoule in your hand, and then let it cool to crystallize like in the pic on the bottom.

      • It's really cool, but as you say, there's some chromatic aberration. Both of these look like they were shot with a close-up lens instead of macro. I like the principle, but I feel like we can do better. Weak oppose for now. Chick Bowen 04:30, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose nice image, bud not featured. It is noisy, dirty background, overexposed in some areas. Also Oppose for the Alt because it needs more DOF. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 15:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
