Picture of the Week: Rainbow Shine in Polymeric Materials
…This picture was taken by Petr Snetkov, a staff member of ITMO’s School of Photonics, to showcase the rainbow glow of polymeric materials in polarized light. To capture the effect, he used an LCD with a white slide that generates polarized light, a DSLR, and a circular polarizing filter. The glow effect arises from optical inhomogeneity (or, as scientists say, ani…
