Abstract
From supercooled quadratic liquid single crystals of the Blue Phases (BP) of cholesteryl myristate quadratic cholesteric textures grow with the boundaries of the BP single crystals being preserved by paramorphosis. A perpendicular helix orientation in the quadratic cholesteric structure has been derived from polarising microscopic investigations, which is also expected within the cubic BP single crystals.Keywords
