What is Didymium glass?
Didymium lenses protect the eyes from certain visible and UV light produced in the glassblowing process. They enable the glassblower to see the glass while it is being worked in the flame. This is the classic filter that has been used for many years in all types of hot glass applications, as well as kiln working.
What does a Didymium filter do?
Didymium photographic filters are often used to enhance autumn scenery by making leaves appear more vibrant. It does this by removing part of the orange region of the color spectrum, acting as an optical band-stop filter. Unfiltered, this group of colors tends to make certain elements of a picture appear “muddy”.

An electron configuration diagram is a model that depicts the position of electrons as they orbit the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are represented by dots or crosses and are positioned in energy levels, or ‘shells’, around the central nucleus. This is sometimes called the Bohr, or the ‘solar system’, model.
How do you do a shell diagram?
How to draw an electron configuration diagram
- Find the element on the periodic table.
- Draw a small circle and write the symbol in the centre.
- Draw a circle around the nucleus.
- Add up to two electrons to the first electron shell.
- Draw another circle around the first shell.
- Add up to eight electrons to the second shell.
What are didymium safety glasses used for?
Didymium safety glasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and sodium flare, both of which are associated with torch work when bead making and silver soldering. Sodium flare is emitted by soft glass as well as borosilicate glass (pyrex) during torch work, but borosilicate releases IR in addition to UV and sodium flare.
