Question about white balancing UV-induced Vis Fluor photos

[Andrea B.]

So I was wondering the following. If you had a known red fluorescent object, known green fluor thing and known blue fluor doodad, can you then make from them a proper white balance in a UV-induced Visible fluorescence photo?

 

This would be analogous to using the red, green and blue patches on a Color Checker card to make a proper white balance. (Actually, I don't know if this can be done either.)

Yes fluorescent proteins have been used that way. Some research for TVs even. Use Bfp, GFP and Rfp.

Also, look up quantum dots.

 

But you might be thinking about rocks right?

[dabateman]

Actually,

Looks like you can buy a set of quantum dots to do what you want. Many q dot TVs seem to have been released now.

looking at r, g, b fluor standards from labsphere.

 

also I have r, g, b fluorescence on the UV innovations cards which I'll try first.

 

but first a experiment with the CC card r, g and b patches !
