Infrared imaging furnace was used to grow single crystals of Ba2YRu1-xCuxO6 and Ba2Re(Y,Pr)Ru1-xCuxO using high temperature solutions of PbO-PbF2 in the form of a bubble attached to the feed rods. Several small crystals were found deposited on the cooler portions of the sintered rod as well as in the drop like portion at the end of the rod. These crystals were collected and the morphology, microstructure and magnetic properties were studied. The details of these investigations are presented.
