This could be seen as a series of coloured rings when the lens was viewed from above with a microscope: the visible light leaked through
the thin gold film.
A thin gold film over astronauts» visors is still used to protect their eyes from glare.
An air gap lies sandwiched between these components and an underlying gold plate; the width of the gap is controlled by an electrostatic actuator —
a thin gold film that sits atop the cantilever and bends toward the plate when a voltage is applied.
The heat causes
the thin gold film actuator to expand.

This presumably means the
thin layer sample will have a very low value of emissivity; not unlike that of a single atomic layer in a
gold film, would have a low emissivity.
