I found this little guy a few days back asleep on a rose in the garden ,or maybe it was just his time...
amazing the reflected lights on his body from the rose...
Blender enthusiast's might recognize this monkey as old Suzanne. The plate used to emboss this was 3d printed and can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/mrbell/8516329458/in/photostream/

Embossing
Embossing involves raising areas of a card surface above the level of the rest. The diagram below shows a coat of arms that has been embossed on bizcard. The images stands out from the card as it has been produced by a stamp which presses the card to the correct shape.
This object, a telephone pole insulator made by Australian Glass Manufacturers and embossed with "AGEE", has been identified as a "CD 490, type II" ( www.cyberbeach.net/~dknetzke/aussie_manufacturers.htm ). Trying to understand why a moulded piece of glass can become such a beautiful and iconic object has occupied me, on-and-off, for more than 35 years. Some of its properties remain a puzzle.
The first of its remarkable attributes is its beautiful 'amethyst' purple colour. Glass which has taken on this colour has indeed become known as 'Desert Amethyst'. It did not start its life with this beauty: it is something that must be acquired steadily over years of exposure to the harsh Australian Sun, rich in ultraviolet rays - glass sunburn. As well as its principal constituents, silicon dioxide, sodium oxide, lime, magnesia and alumina, utilitarian glass always contains impurities, the most abundant of which is usually iron. Iron makes glass green: hence the ubiquitous green bottle. The glass melt for this "CD 490" probably contained some manganese oxide in order to 'whiten' the green tint; though why this was necessary for a glass insulator I don't know. Anyway, the manganese in its divalent form (Mn2+) responds to Solar ultraviolet radiation by losing another electron and becoming trivalent (Mn3+). This makes what is called a 'colour center' or 'F-center' which absorbs green and yellow light to make purple. A similar process occurs in natural quartz amethyst except that it is the iron in this case that makes the colour center: trivalent iron (Fe3+) in the crystal is irradiated to make [FeO_4]^4- and an electron.
The transmission spectra of both desert and quartz amethysts are shown in the top panel. While they are clearly similar, showing a dip in the green/yellow, the desert amethyst is a lot more complicated, both in terms of the number of absorbing components and the remarkably high transmission around 405nm: an unusual spectrum.
The fluorescence spectra of the insulator are shown in the previous post. I am still working on figuring these out.
The lower panel here illustrates a rather esoteric effect that I noticed while making the transmission measurements. To get enough light through the glass, I used a roughly focussed incandescent filament and bounced the light around the dome at the top of the insulator. This produced high signal/noise spectra which are very 'rough' (the three middle spectra) - quite unlike the usual transmission spectra I get when I use a diffuser after the lamp. Light shining directly through the plane glass at the bottom of the insulator (the bottom spectrum of the four) is much smoother. It seemed to me that the absence of the diffuser resulted in multiple paths of transmission through the glass (which has smooth but 'bobbly' surfaces) of light with a significant degree of coherence that they all interfered with one-another. To test this, I took a pair of spectra with and without the diffuer at the top of the insulator with the same positioning of the lamp and the spectrometer fibre (the top and the middle of the five spectra). Indeed, it seems that the diffuser destroys the coherence and produces a smooth spectrum - albeit with lower s/n.

Description:
Specifications:
1) Thickness: 1.5mm-20mm for flat solid PC sheet
2.0mm-15mm for embossed PC sheet
2) Maximum width: 2, 500mm
3) Length: Any dimension
4) Color: Clear, blue, green, opal, brown, blue green etc.
Usage of polycarbonate sheets
1. Subway exits, parking lots, bus stops, shopping arcades, large stadium and rain tents, etc.
2. Swimming covering
3. Roof light or canopy for office buildings, department stores, hotels, schools, amusement centers, hospitals, etc.
4. Sound absorption wall for freeways, high-speed railways.
5. Protection window of bank, jewelry shop.
Features:
1) Impact strength: The impact strength of solid PC sheets is 250 times that of glass, and the impact strength of hollow PC sheets is 80 times that of glass
2) Light weight: The weight of a solid PC sheet is only about half of glass, and the weight of a hollow PC sheet is only about one twelfth at the same thickness
3) Transparency: The light transmission of a 3mm solid PC sheet is 88%, and the light transmission of a6mm hollow PC sheet is 80%
4) UV-protection: A PC sheet is co-extruded with a high-density ultra violet ray that also keeps the PC sheet from discoloring
5) Resistance to weather: A PC sheet has resistance to bad weather and maintains excellent properties in a wide temperature range from -40 to 120oC
6) Inhibiting condensation: When the outdoor temperature is 0oC and the indoor temperature is 23oC, the PC sheet will be condensation up to 80% humidity
7) Thermal insulation: The K-value of glass is 1.2 times that of solid a PC sheet and is 1.7 times that of a hollow PC sheet. PC sheets saves energy while preventing heat loss
8) Sound insulation: The hollow form and polycarbonate resin offers significant advantage to that of glass
9) Flame Resistance: Through testing by the National Center for Quality Supervision & Testing of Fire Building Materials, the material is rated as Class B1 according to QB8624-1997 standards
10) Easy installation: A PC sheet can be bent while hot or cold and can be used on curved roves and windows. The minimum radius of curvature of a PC sheet is 175 times of its thickness.
