Imaged at the Beltsville Agriculture Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland
Summary Author: Jim Foster

"The snow crystal stereo pair featured above was imaged using a Low Temperature Scanning Electron Microscope (LT-SEM). This crystal is an example of a stellar snow crystal with plates at the end. It was imaged not long after falling to the surface. To view the pair stereoscopically, cross your eyes and relax your vision until there are three images, then focus on the center image. Be patient and good luck  !"
