Abstract
Upon massive generation of anisotropic grains of azo dye methyl orange in a gelatin film exposed to active polarized light, a cluster of micro crystals with optical axes of similar orientations has been produced. The anisotropy observed has been found to disappear under exposure to active natural light.
