The Maltese cross, in Italy also known as the Amalfi cross, is the cross symbol associated with the Knights Hospitaller (the Knights of Malta) and by extension with the island of Malta. The cross is eight-pointed and has the form of four "V"-shaped elements, each joining the others at its vertex, leaving the other two tips spread outward symmetrically. Its design is based on crosses used since the First Crusade. It is also the modern symbol of Amalfi, a small Italian republic of the 11th century.
In the mid 16th century, when the Knights were at Malta, the familiar design now known as the "Maltese Cross" became associated with the island. The first evidence for Maltese Cross on Malta appears on the 2 Tarì and 4 Tarì Copper coins of the Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette (Grand Master 1557–1568). The 2 and 4 Tarì Copper coins are dated 1567. This provides a date for the introduction of the Maltese Cross.
The Maltese cross was depicted on the two mils coin in the old Maltese currency and is now shown on the back of the one and two Euro coins, introduced in January 2008.
In polymer physics, Maltese Cross is a set of four symmetrically disposed sectors of high extinction that is displayed when a polymer is observed under polarized lights. This is usually observed when trying to observe spheruliltes in polymers.
Lychnis chalcedonica (Maltese-cross,burning love, dusky salmon, flower of Bristol, Jerusalem cross,nonesuch; syn.Silene chalcedonica) is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to central and eastern Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and northwestern China.
Description
Growing 35–100cm (14–39in) tall with unbranched stems, it is an herbaceousperennial. The leaves are produced in opposite pairs, simple broad lanceolate, 2–12cm (1–5in) long and 1-5 cm broad. The flowers are produced in clusters of 10-50 together; each flower is bright red, 1-3 cm in diameter, with a deeply five-lobed corolla, each lobe being further split into two smaller lobes. This forms a general shape similar to that of the Maltese cross to which it owes one of its common names. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous seeds.
Multi- Order Maltese Cross from lens between crossed polarizers
A white-light source is used behind a linear polarizer to illuminate a lens. A second polarizer is placed after the lens. The view is looking through both polarizers. When the polarizer transmission axes are crossed, there is ideally no light transmitted. In the area of the lens, the polarization state is modified due to the refraction of the lens and the properties of the lens material, which depend on wavelength (color) of the light. A beautiful Maltese Cross is observed that changes color as the second polarizer is rotated. Notice that, as shown in the video, rotating the lens does not change the pattern, but rotating the second polarizer has a dramatic effect.
