Chiral nematic liquid crystals (CLCs) are known to exhibit self-organized helical superstructures. The image shows the polarized optical microscope texture of CLCs dispersed in an isotropic medium, where finger print textures are interestingly observed inside the microspheres. Image acquired on Zeiss Axiophot microscope, by  Ling Wang (Dr. Zhengdong Cheng’s lab, Chemical engineering)
