[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 512370, member: 6786"] I have a few mineral samples that Fluoresce nicely under long wavelength UV (I have the Nitecore MT1U), but one of my grandpa's Uranium ore specimens (from Rum Jungle - I believe) is a beaut. Sorry about the crappy focus - hard to hold camera and UV torch then press shutter. I have lost the software for my USB microscope - can't find yet. Anyway, under room lighting - just a rock?
