ABSTRACT:
For growing crystals, either in ground testing or in space, a capillary tube is used, which contains the solution of the substance to be crystallized, a layer of absorbent and a layer of air or other gas separating the solution from the absorbent. Two absorbent layers may be used on opposite sides of the solution, each separated from the solution by a gaseous layer. To delay the onset of crystallization, the absorbent on each side may be separated from the solution by two gaseous layers, with a charge of absorbable liquid between them. An absorbent may be removed or modified by removing or perforating an end cap used to seal the absorbent within the capillary tube.
