It's actually an empty glasstube inside reflective chrometube, you know

difference {
 { cylinder } //outside limits
 { cylinder } //inside limits
 { sphere }   //rounding at one end
 { sphere }   //rounding at other end
}

-style, with glass one the radiuses are set to a bit littler than on the
chrome one. The glasstube's pigment is a greenish, bozo'd color_map.
Besides that, there's 4 different colour spotlight aimed to cross at the
front of the camera. Naturally there's media and radiosity involved
also. It's still lacking focal blur, which I think I'd like (focused at
the visible end of the tube).

Not illegal, but extremely timetaking. With smaller resolution, without
antialiasing etc. rendering time would surely be possible to drop under
100 hours/frame (I'm not giving off the radiosity - it makes MUCH at
this image), but still, 100 hours is over 4 days and nights, with 25fps
(PAL) the first second would take 100 days...

I shall see what I can do for the rendering time. While rendering this
image my workstation was not a single second dedicated to Pov, so it
might also help "a bit".
