In situ polymer solution (IMAGE)
Caption
In-situ cross-polarized optical microscopy capture of a polymer solution in a moving, drying meniscus, which was created by sandwiching the polymer solution between two glass slides. The video shows the dark solution phase (top-left) and the bright mesophase (bottom-right). The elliptical mesogenic domains emerge from the solution phase and coalesce to form a rope-like texture.
