Comment:

Rørslett (2013) first showed P. argentea in ultraviolet(1). Here are some more examples found in the US which also exhibit the characteristic UV-dark inkblot on the proximal petal end.

Some UV-induced Visible fluorescence studies are included along with an experimental attempt to induce Infrared fluorescence.

Set 1

Middletown Township, New Jersey, USA

14 May 2010

Wildflower

 

Equipment [Nikon D200-broadband + Carl Zeiss 60mm f/4.0 UV-Planar]

 

Visible Light [f/11 for 1/15" @ ISO 500 with onboard Flash and Baader UVIR-Block Filter]

potentillaArgenteaVisFlash051410mt_42726origpnRes.jpg

 

Ultraviolet Light [f/8 for 1/2" @ ISO 500 with Nichia 365nm UV-LED and Baader UV-Pass Filter]

UV-Induced Visible Fluorescence [f/8 for 3" @ ISO-500. Nichia 365 UV-Led + Baader-UV-Pass Filter. Lens + Baader UVIR-Block Filter. Photographed in Darkness.]

Note: This photo has not been formally colour-calibrated, so the colours of the Fluorescence may not be entirely accurate.

Possible UV-Induced Infrared Fluorescence? [f/8 for 2" @ ISO-500. Nichia 365 UV-Led + Baader-UV-Pass Filter. Lens + B+W 092 IR-Pass Filter. Photographed in Darkness.]

This IR-pass filter reaches 50% transmission at 695nm and thus passes some Visible red wavelengths. I think that the photo is showing perhaps some induced Visible Red fluorescence which is also seen in the preceding Visible Fluorescence photo. I do not know whether there is any induced IR fluorescence in the photo. As in the Visible Fluorescence photo above, the UV markings can be seen.

As in any IR photograph, the colour here is false.

Infrared Light [f/8 for 1/45" @ ISO 500 with onboard Flash and B+W 092 IR-Pass Filter]

Possible Fluorescence Induced by Nichia 365 UV-LED under B+W 093 IR-Pass Filter

Possible UV-Induced Infrared Fluorescence? [f/8 for 30" @ ISO-500. Nichia 365 UV-Led + Baader-UV-Pass Filter. Lens + B+W 093 IR-Pass Filter. Photographed in Darkness.]

This filter reaches 50% transmission at 830nm and should not pass any Visible wavelengths. I do not know whether this is induced IR fluorescence in the photo. As in the Visible Fluorescence photo above, the UV markings can be seen.

As in any IR photograph, the colour here is false.

I don't recall whether I was using one or two Nichia UV-LEDs torches.
