Lysozyme crystals in the LCP where droplets are present in the mesophase. Droplets can obscure the crystals when viewed with unpolarized light. The crystals light up and become more visible when polarized light is used. (A.i–A.iv) Images recorded with the polarizers progressively approaching the fully crossed condition with the wired DMD. (B) Image recorded with a Nikon microscope (10× ocular and 10× objective lenses) with polarizers partially crossed. Images were recorded when crystals were 1 day old. The crystal at the arrow is ∼80 µm long.
