Extreme macro across the curved glass face of a vintage CRT tube, shot as an object in a bright studio against a saturated cobalt seamless #1F4FFF. The frame is filled edge to edge with phosphor triads, the fine aperture-grille mesh and horizontal scanlines, glass curvature catching a clean specular streak from a large softbox above. On the screen: a purely abstract color field in acid green #7CFF3D and cobalt, with deep charcoal #0E1116 in the shadow valleys between phosphor dots. The field is caught mid-resolve — coarse chunky compression blocks on one side subdividing into fine crisp gradients and precise edges on the other, phosphor bloom brighter where it is still coarse. Each phosphor dot sits fixed on its grid. 2026 retro-futurist product photography, high-key, neon as accent.
