Hola larense, Nice picture you posted! It really shows clearly in dramatic graphic form that given a simple longwave UV light (UVA: 400nm-315nm) that a possibly remarkable and thought provoking image result can be achieved. Congratulations!
I wonder if you've been able to determine the identity of the material in your picture that glows such a vivid royal blue color? Diamond can also produce a similar color under UVLW, as I am sure you are probably aware. Concerning the pictorial reference to the "Picture of the Day Picture" I mentioned in my original posting, I am beginning to realize that it may be the result of "thermoluminescence" heat testing rather than a classic ultraviolet reaction. It (The picture of the Day enstatite meteorite) was likely mislabeled as being an ultraviolet reaction when it was something else, entirely. A thermoluminesent "glow" and an utraviolet reaction are not the same thing, seems to me. I hope someone jumps in and corrects me if my understanding is either flat-out incorrect or that I may have been sorely misinformed. Yours for the revolution!
