A Resplendence of Colour

    Twisting Light #21. Another experiment in colour.

    For new viewers: these are analog images formed directly on to film without the use of a camera lens (in the same way as a photogram), of the refraction patterns of light passing through formed and shaped plastics. Normally a b/w image, colour has
    been added directly into the plastic. The fine detail of the diffraction patterns can be seen when viewed large.

      Would love to see some pictures of your setup. I have a hard time imagining how this actually happen, even though your explanation makes sense...

      Me too, I want to see this set up in visual form. I am not quite grasping it, you have doen a great job of explaining it in fairly simple terms, but Im still having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

      Alan, I just swung by to see what you've been upto.

      After a quick browse-thru, I'd like to lodge a serious complaint. There has been no microworld update in more than a month!! This is unacceptable. :-)
