Photographer Justin Zoll shoots stunning landscapes—without setting foot outside. Instead he peers through a secondhand Olympus BH2 microscope into a hidden world of psychedelic crystal vistas.
Zoll does not have a background in chemistry or physics, but he harbors a deep appreciation for the beauty of science. “Simple math creates similar structures, from the cosmic down to what I’m looking at in my bedroom under a microscope,” he says. “I think that’s really cool. And I think it’s important for us to share that perspective.”
When combining the amino acids L-glutamate and beta-alanine, Zoll typically dissolves the mixture in high-proof vodka and dries it on a hot plate. The aquamarine and gold colors on display are relatively rare for amino acid crystals and are dependent on their structure. Menthol melts very close to human body temperature—around 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Zoll says he could likely melt a menthol crystal by holding it in his palm and squeezing. It recrystallizes very quickly as well, however. Once the menthol has melted, he has only seconds to snap a photograph.
