Image of the Week: Glass into Glass

A 405-nm laser is shone through the marble ball from a Codd-neck bottle of the Japanese soft drink Ramune, which focuses the beam into a glass table. The yellow and green fluorescent responses likely arise from dopants such as uranium, manganese, cadmium or other elements or molecules in the glasses excited by the near-UV emission.
