Printed on plastic, it incorporates for the first time anywhere this Optically Variable Device which takes on a different appearance depending on the angle at which you view it.
To date the new artifacts, the team used a technique called optically stimulated luminescence, or OSL, which reveals the last time a mineral was exposed to sunlight.
In the old days before animation software, title sequences were shot " optically" — which is just another way of saying they were made manually, frame-by-frame, with a projector and a camera.
However, in 1995 Optically Stimulated Luminescence(OSL) testing was carried out by the Oxford Archaeological Unit on soil from two of the lower layers of the horse's body, and from another cut near the base.
'When, just now, we had reached a planet whose remoteness is a hundred times the remoteness of the sun from the earth, we were only a two thousandth part of the journey to the spot at which we have optically arrived now'.
