@rbelli1 Thanks! @JonnyG Hm, that should not be so. I cannot tell you for certain with this data, especially without seeing the crystals, but the first thing I can think of is the type of sugar you are using. Different kinds would dissolve in a different manner and, subsequently, crystalise...

I wonder how a physicist can struggle so much with such an incredibly simple phenomenon as rainbows.

Well that is unfortunate, but not unfixable. See, crystals "compete" each-other for growing, this means that each crystal is trying to take sugar from the solution and apply it to itself, thus reducing the speed (and ultimate size) at which your main crystals grow. Since it's a home experiment...

Well I am new to this whole "internet forum" thing, but if my suspicions are correct I have been mentioned to give a helping hand. The problem with super-saturated sugar hydro solutions is that they are VERY stable (irritably so). The reason you have a layer of sugar crystals at the top of your...

Hello, I will be conducting an experiment to create a sugar monocrystal, the device I will be using (apologies, English is not my primary language therefore I do not know all the proper terms) will be modeled and influenced by the one described in the paper "Soft-sensor for industrial sugar...
