ultraviolet imaging
Invisible light capture
Ultraviolet imaging captures light just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum, revealing details invisible to the naked eye.
The technique has diverse applications: astronomers use it to study hot stars and galaxies, dermatologists to detect skin damage before it becomes visible, and art conservators to examine paintings for restorations or forgeries.
Ultraviolet imaging revealed earlier brushwork beneath the surface.
