We looked at our PSI crystals by microdialysis tubing. These crystals are entirely different shape from all the other crystals we have looked at with different techniques. These crystals are longer and thinner and when magnified under the polarized dissecting scopes, they look like neon colored glow sticks - beautiful. We each tried to seed our crystals onto another microdialysis tubing by fishing for crystals. This was a very neat experience to try to transfer a dot-size crystals from one end to another tube :).
