The specialized microscope is being readied to examine the transition of an ordered crystal to a disordered glass to determine how increasing disorder affects structural and dynamic properties. The Advanced Colloids Experiment-Temperature-4 (ACE-T-4) investigation controls disorder by controlling temperature in a series of samples and observes the microscopic transition in three dimensions.
