Question - Is this a tear, such as people cry, or is it a cell torn off of someone's face (using the other meaning of "tear")? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:18, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is the tear that pours from the eyes :) JukoFF (talk) 11:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I guess it's the use of "facies" that is a bit confusing here — I only know it from geology (and there seems to be a medical use in English), but in Russian the word Фация seems to have some other uses as well. Maybe we can find some better description. I think what we see here is a drop of tear fluid that has been left to dry, allowing the dissolved salts to crystallize and form interesting patterns (some more examples in this article at telegraph.co.uk) - correct? --El Grafo (talk) 11:08, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Absolutely right. I would be very grateful if you correct the description. JukoFF (talk) 11:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've updated the description accordingly. --El Grafo (talk) 10:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not really that impressed by a round gray object on a black background that looks like lots of other round gray objects on black backgrounds. Also, yes I know it was taken through a microscope, but we have plenty of other microphotographs without that level of CA near the edges. Daniel Case (talk) 19:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Fascinating, but as Daniel says, there appears to be a lot of purple chromatic aberration near the edges of the crystals. Could you please get rid of that? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
