What is an aerogel “movie”?
A. An aerogel “movie” is a series of 40 images taken of the same minute location of the aerogel collector, with each image focused on a different depth within the aerogel. The focal points range from 20 microns above the aerogel’s surface to 100 microns deep within the surface. The “movie” effect is created by moving continuously between the focus levels, which is akin to moving into and out of the aerogel.
