Efnir: Jacques Herbin Émeraude De Chivor

I was alluding to stereotypically French ideas about fidelity/promiscuity (and my response to such is apt to be profane).

Yep, I was being dense!

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 330µm.

 

 

Also, here are two images, the first done with the microscope camera's software, the second using my phone camera looking through the eyepiece.  They show the glitter and sheen in interesting ways.  And the two show how the camera software sometimes really does not get the color right...

Hi @LizEF - these are beautiful microscopic images! Thank you for taking this effort!

 

We can learn a lot from ink distribution on paper - about the ink and about the paper.

Thanks, Ines!   They are interesting - and every now and then, they're really interesting.  I've been pondering what we can learn, and haven't yet come to any conclusions.  Some dry inks leave pretty large gaps where you see the white paper, like holes in the ink.  (Not sure if I've posted R.O. Astorquiza Rot yet, but it's a really good example of that.)  But It doesn't seem directly related to dry inks (though they do it more often).  And of course, I'm sure the paper fiber arrangement plays a large role, along with random chance of whether I hit that area of the paper...  Whatever it is we might learn, it's interesting, and often very pretty.
