Water under Microscope

Professor Winston Ingram has worked as a scientist, photographer, artist and musician for over fifty years. He is currently retired and resides in London. These images are from his project H2O for Life. He prepared twenty 3″ x 1″ glass slides with London water. Using a polarizing microscope and a fluorescence microscope to show the structute, and any particles that may have attached from the air. To enable fluorescence he coated the back of the slide with chemicals. When the light passed through the 4 different cubes on the microscope, and then through the objective, it then hit the slide and the chemical coating on the back of the slide made the water fluoresce.
