Abstract
First time experimental evidence is presented for the steady state growth of dendrites away from their normal crystallographic growth directions. The evidence is shown for transparent dendrites in the succinonitrile system, which are induced to grow along wetting surfaces. A method for the quantitative characterization of the tips of such dendrites is described and the differences in the secondary arm formation between off-axis and regular dendrites are recorded. The scientific and technological implications of this finding are examined.Keywords
