UV sources, and "Bee Vision"

In addition to the Sun, I use a half a dozen flashes, specially modified for high UV out put.

Here is an example that uses the Sun and a modified flash to obtain an UV image:


Long wavelength continuous output UV sources are also pressed into service
for certain applications.



Rudbeckia. Light composition chosen to match the sensitivity of some bees and as
required by the CCD sensor in the camera used. Single shot capture.


That is an example using a new technique under development by me.
