Today now very bright images which fluorescent minerals can provide. A very good friend of mine was so kind to open up his mineral collection "vault" for me and I was able to take some shots of his shotwave and longwave fluorecent mineral collections. Since he has the needed ultraviolet lamps already installed in his cabinets, a "normal" camera and lens was sufficient, tripod mounted because of the somewhat longer exposure times.
Here now the images, click on them to get larger ones:
and this now an also fluorescent shrimp:
So I hope you like these as much as I do....
Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
