Ok their steps are as follow:
- Set microscope slides, coverslips and superglue outside when it’s 20°F or colder to chill them. Catch flakes on the slides or pick them up with cold tweezers.
- Place a drop of superglue on the snowflake. Note: Gel glue doesn’t work. Find a brand that’s thin and runny.
- Drop a coverslip over the glue. Don’t press down hard or the flake could tear or melt from the heat of your finger.
- Leave the slide in a freezer for one or two weeks and don’t touch it with warm hands. The glue must completely harden before the snowflake warms up.
That sounds easy enough, where you can do this without the "microscope". (Who has a microscope, just laying around the house?) You basically need a sturdy piece of glass or a plate. You basically want to use something that is hard and would be easy to get the super glue off. Put it in a freezer and wait.
