Calcium Carbonate Crystal Crystallised Crystallized Crystals Deposit Deposited Domestic Furring Household Kettle Limescale Soft Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of limescale crystals, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Limescale, known as calcium carbonate deposits found on household surfaces and appliances due to water supply, is depicted in this image. The sample presented here was collected from inside a kettle located in an area with soft water. The magnification used for this print allows us to observe these fascinating crystals at x1450 when printed 10 centimetres wide. Each crystal appears like a miniature work of art, with its unique shape and pattern. The vibrant colours add an element of visual delight to the composition. Limescale formation is a chemical process that occurs over time as water evaporates and leaves behind mineral deposits. This photograph serves as a reminder of the unseen wonders that exist within our everyday surroundings. It offers us a glimpse into the microscopic world where chemistry unfolds before our eyes. Whether you appreciate the scientific aspect or simply marvel at its aesthetic appeal, this print is sure to captivate anyone who encounters it. Its presence can enhance any space by adding depth and intrigue while simultaneously sparking curiosity about the hidden complexities present in even seemingly mundane objects like kettles.
