A false-color #multispectral photo I took of a larkspur with UV and IR light mapped on top of a regular visible-color photo. Inner parts of the flower petals reflect more UV than others and thus show up in blue. Other parts absorb UV but reflect IR, resulting in the red colors seen in the inner part of the flower and stems. Many flowers use this contrast to help pollinators (who often can see UV) to distinguish key parts of the flower.

Another #multispectrum image showing #infrared and #ultraviolet light in red and blue, respectively. Note how the blue UV light glitters and reflects from the edges of the petals, while the interior of the petals and the stalk in the background glows red from reflected IR (the “Wood Effect”).

Latest #multispectrum image, showing what a flower might look like if we saw beyond visible light into the UV and IR spectra.
I’ve mapped IR light to red and UV light to blue, and added them to the existing red and blue data from the ordinary RGB image (included for comparison). Notice how the spots on the petals reflect IR light (and thus glow red), and how outer parts of the petals reflect more UV (blue).

My first image from my hacked-together #multispectral (IR, UV, and visible light) camera. Near IR is in red, visible light is in green, and UV is in blue.
The camera itself is a monochrome camera I normally use for solar imaging, while the lens is just a regular Nikon 50 f/1.8D. Between the two is an electronic filter wheel with IR pass, IR cut, and UV pass filters.
