Hi

tried to generate a 'white laser beam' through a prism (black sourrounding,
windows xp) watching for the dispersion (Factor 1.5, samples 15). The laser
beam should be visible by scattering in a dusty air media. Unfortunately the
laser beam generated by a spot light is only visible before hitting the prism
surface but not visible after passing the prism. Any ideas why this happens? I
have only one air media specified with IOR=1, scattering on, mie hazy,
extinction 0.1, scattering color grey 0.86 lum.
The beam should be light enough to show at least some scattering. Any ideas what
to improve?

Thanks MRe
