During the lab cleanup day today, Paul found this crystal in the bottom of his 5 M NaCl bottle, which had been sitting quietly on his shelf for about a year or so. WOW! That is a falcon tube lid, for reference… Nearly 100 years since the structure of NaCl was determined by X-ray crystallography (the first ever X-ray structure) – I wonder if they had a crystal THIS good! Of course, maybe it doesn’t diffract… Keep trying Eija!
