Science Turns Cocktails Into Works of Art

In a glass, it's not much to look at. But under the microscope, your favorite cocktail is a sight to behold. With a process developed at Florida State University, BevShots, based in Tallahassee, Florida, produces colorful images of wine, liquor and beer magnified up to 1,000 times. The company sells them to buyers as works of art. "Each image is a picture of beverage crystals taken through the lens of a polarized light microscope," said Lester Hutt, the company's president.
