Fluorescent Paint: "Franklin Green" and "Sterling Hill Red" - UVc

 

FOV: 2.5" wide

 

Inspired by Bob Fosbury's recent trip to the Egyptian exhibit at the Munich Museum, I decided to try turning some of the fluorescent powders I'd made into paint. The powders were mixed with a bit of white glue and water and applied to a charred scap of wood. The wood was charred to increase contrast since uncharred wood is naturally flourescent.

Willemite (FL+PHOS Green >UVc)
