Precipitation in (Quasi)2D

A high-contrast microscopic photograph of a central, dark circular point from which a textured, cloud-like mass expands outward. The mass has an irregular, crinkled edge and a brain-like or frothy internal texture. A single, thin reddish-pink line extends diagonally from the center point toward the top-right corner, while faint, wavy contour lines are visible in the surrounding light-gray background.

Label: Precipitation in (Quasi)2d
Artist: Amari Morris
Description: This art was done in a 2D Heleshaw cell. The picture is sodium silicate and cobalt chloride reaction that creates a precipitate. The patterns and colors of this reaction are determined by concentration, the flow rate and solvents. The growth of precipitates can help with the understanding of many biological systems.
