Fish fossile enhancement using UV-VIS UV-Nikkor 105mm
« on: January 15, 2023, 12:03:56 »
A while ago I have been asked by Neil Larson (yes, that SUE T-Rex guy...) to enhance some Fish fossile shots taken for a museum exhibit and scientific publication. My idea was to reach some enhancement using UV-VIS photography with the UV-Nikkor 105mm and suitable filters. Here some test shots I have done previously to see if that idea might work...

Especially numbers 1 or 2 are interesting imo!

Is the skull in the first image fluorescing?

No, this is some artificial plaster applied by the one who worked on this to indicate the head...

I see.  I was curious whether the fossilized bone would still fluoresce.
