Testing out dichroic vapor deposition method on our VB2 Dome

Testing out dichro vapor deposition on a VB2 dome.

Dichroic glass gets its color changing appearance from applying thin layers of metals & oxides onto glass in a vacuum chamber. Here the metal molecules have been laid down in 20-30 layers, yet the whole layup is only 30 millionths of an inch thick!
