1.) Standard Included Glazing Type: Tru-Vue™ Conservation Clear Acrylic® --
You'll immediately notice the mirror-like reflection of the light source at the top of the image, and the less noticeable but still there reflection of me (Jason) shooting the picture of this sample piece.
Benefits: 99% UV Protection | protects your art from fading | shatter resistant | 3.0mm thickness (0.118-inches).
2.) Upgraded Glazing Type: Tru-Vue™ Conservation Reflection-Control® Acrylic (non-glare) --
On the right side of the image, you'll see the Non-Glare upgrade option. The matte finish of the non-glare takes the mirror-like reflections and diffuses them and flattens them out. You'll still see that there is a light-source above the piece, but it won't be reflected like it is on the clear acrylic.
Benefits: 99% UV Protection | matte finish reduces glare | shatter resistant | 3.0mm thickness (0.118-inches).
3.) Upgraded Glazing Type: Tru-Vue™ Optium Museum Acrylic® --
In the center of the image, you'll see the Museum Acrylic option. This acrylic is simply the best glazing option available on planet earth. But you'll also pay for it as it's incredibly expensive. It basically eliminates reflections and glare. To my eye, it looks as if it's coating takes the light-sources or anything that can be reflected off of it and it shifts the wavelength of light to a darker wavelength. You can see this a little bit up at the top to the right of the "p" in Metroscap where it's shifted the white light of the fluorescent light down to a green-ish wavelength. There is a Museum Glass option that is less expensive and the same type of performance, but it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to ship. Once you factor in the additional shipping costs to choosing the acrylic, you're only saving about 20% off upgrade price of the Museum Acrylic, and still have the chance that the glass could shatter during shipping.
