[QUOTE="sjastro, post: 75856389, member: 352921"] It's only been in the past few years LED UV torches have come onto the market which have a compatible performance with UV lamps. The LED torch I use plus a link to fluorescent meteorites is found [URL='https://www.meteorite-times.com/fluorescent-meteorites/']here[/URL]. The only pitfall I have encountered is imaging through a microscope. Initially my images came out a purplish red colour. It finally dawned on me UV light reflected off the sample was reaching the camera sensor and destroying the colour balance. Unlike camera lenses which have a UV coating, microscope optics are uncoated. I found a UV rejecting filter used for astrophotography inserted between the camera and microscope optics an effective countermeasure. [/QUOTE]
