iss059e101468 (6/12/2019) — Photo documentation aboard the International Space Station (ISS) of the ACE modules taken in the the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) during the ACE-T10 Module Configuration. The Advanced Colloids Experiment-Temperature-10 (ACE-T-10) investigates the growth kinetics, microscopic dynamics, and restructuring processes in ordered and disordered structures such as colloidal crystals, glasses and gels. The investigation studies crystal nucleation in colloidal fluids, the origin of ageing in glasses and gels, as well as the heterogeneous nature of the microscopic dynamics in these structures. The study must be conducted in microgravity, as gravitational stresses affect the structure and growth of these solids from colloids.
