Subject: Science

The scene is simple; a bench on which is placed a rack of test tubes,
containing some red substance.  A pipette with more of the substance also
lies on the table.  The substance wasn't supposed to look like blood,
that's just the way it came out!

The source is constructed by hand, but didn't take long as it's fairly
simple.  What _did_ take a long time was the rendering; all that glass
really slows things down.  It took over 60 hours on a Sparc Station 2,
using POVray 2.2, 800x600, default anti-aliasing turned on.

Files:
 djs_tube.jpg   The picture, 800x600x24, JPEG/JFIF compressed.
 djs_tube.txt   This readme
 djs_tube.zip   Source, except for a pair of GIF texture maps.
