This short, silent film shows fascinating crystal growth under magnification, in real-time. The width of the film frame, for most of the samples, is only 1mm wide (only one, the Tristearin sample, is 1/4 of that). Kenneth Jackson and Charlie Miller were the Bell Labs researchers who made the film to document their work. This film was leased during the 1970s and 1980s for audiences of university students, to complement relevant classwork.
Crystal-growing techniques were very important to technological advancement at Bell Laboratories. Early crystal experimentation to find better rectifiers for radar and microwaves in the 1940s gave way to explorations of germanium and silicon crystals later on. These, of course, led to the development of the transistor, and beyond--in particular, how crystals grow on different surfaces. Later, this research would lead to ways of crafting the layers of silicon chips, such as the molecular beam epitaxy method.
