Only on Star Trek do we find transparent aluminum. Any aluminum matrix is opaque. You can't see through it.

Actually there is such thing as transparent aluminum but the power required for the x-ray laser is more than a whole city's worth and the beam must be focused down to a point of less than one-twentieth of a human hair and only lasts for 40 femtoseconds.

Does transparent aluminum exist?

According to several sources Transparent Aluminum does indeed exist as a ceramic called AlON."Transparent aluminum starts out as a pile of white aluminum oxynitride powder. That powder gets packed into a rubber mold in the rough shape of the desired part, and subjected to a procedure called isostatic pressing, in which the mold is compressed in a tank of hydraulic fluid to 15,000 psi, which mashes the AlON into a grainy "green body." The grainy structure is then fused together by heating at 2000 °C for several days. The surface of the resulting part is cloudy, and has to be mechanically polished to make it optically clear."

Is anodized aluminum still aluminum?

Yes, but it has a hard transparent (sometimes colored) layer of aluminium oxide grown on it by putting it in an electrolytic cell (as the anode) and passing current through the cell. This layer protects the aluminum metal under it from damage. Note: if the anodization is red in color the aluminum oxide layer is actually synthetic ruby.
