The image comprises a mixture of two liquid crystal mesogens cooling under polarizing optical microscopy. One of the mesogens forms an intertwining polymer network, which can be seen nucleating from individual sites. The solid polymer matrix propagating through the sample develops a complex interface with the fluid liquid crystal.
