UVF Satsuma Mould

[Adrian]

I have done several of these over the last couple of years, but this is one of the best examples! Found in the bottom of the fruit bowl!

Technical details: Nikon D800 with 105mm micro-Nikkor lens. Convoy S2+ UV LED torch. Approx 30 seconds at f/22, "light painted"

That is exceptionally nice :D

This is fluorescence? It’s gorgeous and reminds me of the original Apple logo...

Really nice captures. Interesting that what appears to be healthy surface in visible light shows that marked zoning in UVIVF.

[Cadmium]

Wow... Absolutely great! :-)

NASA has been trying to get a sharp shot of that planet for a while now! ;-)

It does remind me of a yet undiscovered planet...

[Andy Perrin]

The planet Satsupiter...

[Andrea B.]

Way cool!

 

I immediately went to the Planet interpretation too. B)

 

The banding is very interesting. I wonder if the tangerine was dropped to cause the bottom discoloration?

[Adrian]

I don't think it was dropped though it was at the bottom of the fruit bowl, underneath several others.

I assume the banding shows the same species of mould in different stages.

Very nice capture, Adrian!

 

As it happens this time oft the year, I got some satsumas as well. And there was this question:

 

The banding is very interesting. I wonder if the tangerine was dropped to cause the bottom discoloration?

 

So as mine got in a bad shape as well ...

 

I think, the bottom shows the "normal" stage, looks just brown, not very delicious.

Here are mine (Z6 with S35/4 and Convoy S2+ with 2mm 340nm filter from well known source ;-)
