Photos reveal the secrets of snowflakes’ shapes
“They all start as a hexagonal crystal of ice and then spread out, forming delicate arms and enchantingly intricate patterns. It’s long been known that different temperatures influence the patterns of ice crystal growth. Near -2 °C, they grow into small, flat discs. At -5 °C, they form slender columns and needles.

MSO-104 oscilloscope. What makes this scope so different? It is a very small module, smaller than the Arduino Uno sitting next to it on my desk, that plugs into your iOS device and your iOS device handles all of the display and heavy duty work for the oscilloscope!
