[edit] The Meissner Effect

An image of the Meissner effect (levitation of a magnet due to the complete expulsion of all external magnetic fields) in a high temperature superconductor. This image has its problems, its a scan so the dynamic range leaves a bit to be desired, there is still a bit of speckle and dust left even after having been cleaned up, some may object to the centering, and focus is just off at the subject. However, the very striking and unusual nature of the phenomenon, the large size of the image, the clear bubbly liquid nitrogen and wispy nitrogen/freezing water vapor and the nice vibrant contrasty colors make up for it I think.--Deglr6328 22:51, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• Looks good, but one question: is this a true or false-colour image? Raven4x4x 00:59, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Like many laboratory "publicity" images, this is almost certainly a true color image (no reason for false color use) however, the subject was probably lit with different colored spot lighting in order to make the image more interesting. eg. [1]--Deglr6328 02:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Cool, just making sure. It's a very impressive effect. Raven4x4x 04:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• Support, if this doesn't bring across the nature of the Meissner Effect, nothing will. - Mgm|^(talk) 22:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose. Kind of boring to me. While it does a good job illustrating its topic, I just don't see anything particularly special about it. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 02:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • But its an object levitating in mid air! :D I think that's pretty special! --Deglr6328 03:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
