C7 - Spiral cores

Title

C7 - Spiral cores

Description

This image was recorded and processed in the same way as C6, but now a larger part of the solution was observed with the camera, so that several spirals are measured.
The three-dimensional perspective from “below” visualizes the envelopes of the deep “concentration wells” around the rotation centers. They demonstrate the singular character of the chemical processes in the core areas and resemble the shape of tornados very closely.
