CTOnews.com, December 26 (Xinhua) in a recent feature release, CNN shared the story of Wilson Bentley (Wilson Bentley) who took a close-up of snow ice crystals. He was the first person to take pictures of snow ice crystals. How to prove that there is no same snowflake in the world? Bentley took more than 5000 close-up photos of snowflake ice crystals in his lifetime, never found any copies, and these images are fascinating to this day.

In 1885, 69 years after the invention of the camera, he successfully photographed snowflake ice crystals through repeated experiments. In his close-up photos, you can see that each snowflake ice crystal has a common hexagonal or hexagonal structure, but each ice crystal is displayed in its own unique way.

CTOnews.com learned that Sue Richardson, Bentley's great-grandniece and vice chairman of the board of directors of the Jericho Historical Society, said:

Bentley has the mind of a scientist and the soul of a poet, as you can see in his writings. Over the years, he has written many articles for other magazines such as scientific publications, Harper's Bazaar and National Geographic.

He also kept very detailed weather records and recorded the weather conditions of each snowflake ice crystal he took, including temperature, humidity and so on. He kept very detailed information, and then the weather records he kept and his theory of how snow crystals formed in the atmosphere proved to be correct.... no, no, no.

However, it is not easy to photograph these snow crystals on the camera. Richardson said it took Bentley nearly three years to figure out how to successfully take a picture-he did it a month before his 20th birthday.

The first obstacle is figuring out how to connect the microscope to the camera. Then there is the challenge of taking pictures before each crystal melts. Richardson said he worked in an unheated wooden shed at the back of the house, a working environment he had to overcome. Microscope slides, everything, must be at ambient temperature, or they will melt snowflake ice crystals.
