Add to our gallery of artificially-grown crystals

Use this form to upload an example of a crystal that you have grown, with details of the procedure and conditions you used.

Selection Committee

Submissions will be considered by a committee of the IUCr Commission on Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials. Please select an individual from the list so that the workload may be shared amongst committee members. If you have no preference for a specific individual, please select a member geographically close to you.

Preferred committee member:

Image of the crystal

Uploaded images should be at least 800x600 pixels. Pictures should be optical pictures or SEM/TEM/AFM in the case of thin films or micro/nanostructures. Please be selective: we recommend that individual authors do not upload more than three pictures per year.

Please provide a title for your picture:	Friendly name for the file
A caption describing interesting features of the picture:	The Caption attribute for the image
Location of file on your filesystem:	You may only upload files no larger than 20.0 MB NOTE: You may only upload files of type gif, jpg, jpeg and png
