Timelapse light microscope footage of the growth of a crystal of salt (sodium chloride). Sodium chloride forms regular cubic crystals, due to its crystal structure, in which each atom of sodium and chlorine is surrounded by six of the other type of atom, on the vertices of an octahedron. This is a common structure for crystals. | |
