Our medallions typically contain two main visual elements, the diffractive color patterns and the nano to micro texts.  Images can be any size and also will have colorful elements as well.

The diffractive elements are easy to see.  They provide the colors and the holographic effects.

The nano to micro texts and the smaller images can be viewable with a high powered eye loupe or other optical aids like microscope.  For convenience we have developed an app on your browser that provides the zooming function needed to view all the details of the medallions.  They are accessible with a QR code scannable with a smart phone.

The diffractive patterns embedded in each medallion are so small that light diffracts around the elements.  In doing so, light is separated into different colors and travels different paths.  We design the elements to sculpture the light path and create the colors from the incoming light.

Because of the physics behind the diffraction, the medallions look best under a point source light or light that emanates from one place.  Examples of these types of lights are LED lights, halogen lights, or even a flash light on your phone.
