[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 466002, member: 3008"] But isn't he trying to capture visible orange light not UV. So if the camera is insensitive to UV it will result in blackness when only UV is reflected back to the camera. But with florescence the UV light has been absorbed by the mineral then the emitted in the visible spectrum as 'orange' light (in this case) which should be visible to the chip? Which is what happened in his other post regarding supposed Ruby identification. He captured the red glow. Not disagreeing. Just trying to understand light. :rainbow: [/QUOTE]
