If you weren’t fortunate enough to watch Sunday Morning on CBS today you missed a fascinating story about Kenneth G. Libbrecht who studies snowflakes and does snowflake art at CalTech. He has designed a special magnifying camera for photographing the crystals and his photos were even used for USPS holiday stamps. He is now working to grow his own flakes in the controlled California lab environment…… hence the link to cryogenics.
His website http://www.snowcrystals.com/ is pretty fascinating. Of course, you might note that this review comes from a guy who drives from Houston to Las Vegas never bored by the scenery.
