This camera elimnates the visual light spectrum giving you true Infrared pictures and video.
The James M. DuPont Meteorite Collection - of the martian meteorites as a group has not yet been examined in detail in the mid-IR region. Near-infrared spectral analyses of the martian meteorite EETA 79001, including detailed mathematical modeling of two pyroxene components in conjunction with pyroxene-hematite mixture modeling for spectra of the surface of Mars, support the idea that pyroxenes are present in some regions on Mars along with a ferric iron-bearing component[8].

The James M. DuPont Meteorite Collection - (EEL) spectroscopy for the core and the plasma losses. The UV absorption spectrum shows a distinct band at 217 nm, superimposing the increase of the continuous absorption toward shorter wavelengths. This band corresponds to the pi-pi* transition of aromatically bonded C. The presence of sp(2)-bonded C (probably at the surfaces of the crystallites) is clearly indicated by the Raman and EEL spectra. The mid-IR spectra confirm the occurrence of bands ...

This is the Burma spinel I got from you guys under darkroom illumination with my LED light source from my microscope, and a portable blacklight for a UV-A light source. You can see how the stone appears naturally before turning the UV light on. Then you can see how it turns to a brown color as if it were absorbing the light. When the light goes off, it's a dark brown color. However, it does gradually obtain its color back in time. There is no sign of phosflurousecne, and there is a total ...

Surreal images produced using infrared filters and in-camera effect. Now posting videos on the BigLoveZone Channel 8) Beautiful music by tps607 (Tom Simanek) www.youtube.com In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm. Usually an "infrared ...
A 30W soldering iron was captured heating and cooling in the infrared spectrum. The video was actually based off of pictures, and not motion video. I used an old webcam with the IR filter removed and a visible light filter replacing it to only view the IR spectrum. Of course, you see no light with your eyes, this is effectively radiant heat viewed with a 10 dollar webcam and captured with VLC Media Player. This process actually takes far longer than is portrayed here; the total time for this ...
