The best way of writing a caption is simply to explain what the picture is showing. Do it in a concise way. So for example, a picture that has a flower, vase with water and some dissolved substance in the water, something like "The vase holds the flower with the stem submerged in a solution of ____, ___ grams per milliter of water. Of the flowers tested, this one lasted the longest/died the quickest/lasted about the same as the control. This photo was taken after ___ days."

Something like that.
