Comments: Scorpions under UV light: making better photos

2 comments

Today, after reading an article on Photography in the Ultraviolet spectrum (Instructables) I decided to give taking photos of scorpions under UV light another try. Most scorpions do "glow" under UV light (black light), a process called fluorescence. However, my camera is quite sensitive to UV light, resulting in a lot of additional blue in the photo. As a UV light source I used several UV LEDs and the camera is a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S600.

Hi,

Only a small number of scorpion species are deadly to humans, except when you're allergic to their sting. I am very careful with the scorpions I keep, especially the specimen that I haven't been able to identify and belong to the Centruroides genus.
