This is my contribution to day eight of Becky’s October Squares: Lines photo challenge.
Lines in sodium thiosulfate crystals formed by my finger checking to see if the solution had crystallized. Taken using a microscope and polarized light.

Unnatural Patterns
The new Cosmic Photo Challenge is Unnatural Patterns.
I can’t decide if these photos are natural or unnatural but I’m going to say they’re unnatural for the challenge.
The photos are of sodium thiosulfate crystals photographed through a microscope using polarized light. I made a solution of sodium thiosulfate, put drops on microscope slides and used various methods to get the crystals to form. The first photo could be part of one of my fingerprints.
Lines of a fingerprint.
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is Lines.
The photo shows two overlapping fingerprints in sodium thiosulfate which has crystallized. The crystals were photographed through a microscope using polarized light.
Sodium thiosulfate is used as a photographic fixer in the darkroom as silver halide dissolves in it. Commonly known as Hypo in the days of the black and white darkroom.
