Fun with polarizers and baking soda. Grains of sodium bicarb are birefringent, so the crystal disappear and reappear as the angle between the optic axis and plane of incidence changes

Strange bubble results. 100x magnification, cross polarized white light + 405nm laser. The thin crystals precipitated out of common food coloring, and the soap bubbles are clinging to the polarizing filter above them #microscopy
