Edit: at 2:07 tin oxide should be replaced by tin hydroxy chloride.
The close-up of the tin crystals was taken with my self-made microscope. More information about this microscope here: youtube.com/watch?v=TNx52I_PN8w
The footage of the tin tree growing in the petri dish was filmed in fast motion. It took about 7 minutes for the tin tree to fill the petri dish.
