colinbm Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The Green Iridescent Jewel Beetle wants to see its audience & in UVIVF too. The beetle will go back into hibernation till I get a 60x objective setup. Here are two head shots, one in visible light & one in UVIVF. Sorry the UVIVF is a bit primitive, but so am I, I did my best to clean up a messy background. They say you can make a piece of coal fluoresce given enough UV light !

photoni Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 @colinbm Bravo ! your search is very difficult indeed almost impossible. It reminds me of a my customer asking me to photograph a diamond ring and ... moving it ... he said so brilliant I want it :- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug A Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Fabulous images. The UVIVF is even stranger looking than visible light. Haven't seen anything quite like it. Lots of work, but well worth it. Thanks for sharing, Doug A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Great head shot! Still amazes me the detail of nature at the macro level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinbm Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Thanks Nate It will get better as I get my systems together & very stable, & with higher magnification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabateman Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The eyes are really interesting. I wonder if they are protecting against UV light. What does this look like with reflectance UV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
