[UV, FL, VIS, NIR] A very special Zinnia from Mexico

Today about a very special Zinna flower from Mexico, the boss of our most beautiful park Hermannshof, Weinheim, Prof. Cassian Schmidt gave me for my research and photographic work.

This special flower exhibits very prominent patterns under various filtering and lighting conditions which I would like to present here.

UV-VIS simulated bee vision:


VIS-NIR redge-edge:


So I hope you liked that too!


Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
