A forthcoming publication about synthetic Lichens

Today about a forthcoming publication using the following pictures of that same Lichen I have reported about (most likely Xanthoria parietina and Physcia adscendens grown into each other), that I found growing on a broken branch. Shots were done in UV induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) using my CERCO 94mm quartz/fluorite lens, the Baader UV/IR Cut filter and another special longer wave cut filter as well as my Nichia high power UV LED system that was used as a light source.

Quite interesting colors get visible, hence why my images will be used in a publication about "synthetic lichens".


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