The image shows 2 fewer hues than the dispersion_samples value.

The first image shows the setup I used for testing.  The wall near the  
camera casts a shadow on the screen for contrast.

The second image is the actual test.  The numbers 3 through 10 are the  
values of dispersion_samples for the pair of prisms above each.  The  
prisms in the top row cast a narrow slit of photons onto the screen right  
below the numbers.  The prisms in the lower row refract the white line  
near the bottom.

I'm using version 3.6.2 (32-bit), but I've noticed the problem in earlier  
versions.  My OS is Windows XP 2002 Media Center Edition SP3.

I'm not realy sure, but maybe that the first sample is in the infra red 
and the last in the ultra violet range...

....So what I need are a pit viper and a honey bee to fully appreciate this
software. :-)

Interspecies ray tracing--another first from the POV Team!
