This is describing a photograph I took, and I am not sure of the proper grammar to use at times. Should I put commas in the first sentence? Butcher it; why don'tcha? I want to make it best possible.
Ferrofluid is a superparamagnetic liquid composed of surfactant-encapsulated
nanoscale sub-domain magnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid with a high
magnetic permeability and very low magnetic hysteresis. In this photograph,
approximately five milliliters of ferrofluid was poured into a petri dish, and two N42
grade neodymium iron boron (Nd2Fe14B) rare-earth magnets were strategically
placed under a commercially printed watercolor painting of breaking waves. The
interaction of the magnets' fields, the surface tension of the ferrofluid, and the
Earth's gravitational field result in stable three-dimensional liquid spikes. Interesting optical effects are exhibited from the transparency, color (both as a function of depth), and curvatures of the ferrofluid, as well as the several different wavelengths of light projected onto specific regions of the photograph.
