Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature presents tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrates grown inside a microfluidic device in the presence of safranine O, a fluorescence dye, which binds to the surface of the crystal and inhibits further growth. The binding of safranine might be facilitated by self‐assembly into lamellar structures, imaged in aqueous solutions using cryo‐TEM.
