But now I have. Thanks! Those are cool (no pun intended). There's a Russian photographer whose name I can't remember who hacked a Canon point-and-shoot camera to capture similar photos of single snow crystals (also water ice crystal accretions, of course). IIRC he worked on his balcony during storms!

These figures are in 75mm petri dishes painted black, so no macro necessary.
