Here's the final molecular media image using a combination of media and
isosurfaces.  I found getting the proper lighting (the previous ones were
far too dark) requires not combining absorption and scattering as well as
not using shadowless lights.

This is a depiction of the electrostatic potential in a molecular system
undergoing a spontaneous decomposition.  This image is at the intermediate
point of dissociation of the single molecule into two product molecules.
You can see the transfer of negative charge from one part of the molecule to
another part.  The part that is receiving the charge is the part that will
break off.  I'll post the animation of the entire reaction sequence in the
binaries.animation group for any interested parties.

Enjoy!

Jim
