Revealing Invisible Beauty, Ultra Detailed: The Influence of Low Cost UV Exposure on Natural History Specimens in 2D+ Digitization

Abstract: Digitization of the natural history specimens usually occurs by taking detailed pictures from different sides or producing 3D models. Additionally this is normally limited to imaging the specimen while exposed by light of the visual spectrum. However many specimens can see in or react to other spectra as well. Fluorescence is a well known reaction to the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum by animals, plants, minerals etc. but rarely taken into account while examining natural history specimens. Our tests show that museu… Show more

“…A new scanning system and crowdsourcing were proposed for industrial-scale digitization (Blagoderov et al 2012). UV exposure for two-dimensional imaging beyond human eyesight was also tested (Brecko et al 2016). Another approach is processing three-dimensional images.…”

“…For focus stacking photogrammetry in UV, 365 nm LEDs issued from the manicure industry were used (Brecko et al 2016). For multispectral photography and SfM (of medium and large specimens), two LED panels with 16 wavelengths from near UV to near infrared (NIR) were used.…”

UV patterns can be involved in species recognition (Ze-Lin et al 2012;Brecko et al 2016) and sexual selection (Brunton 1998), but are also dependent of environmental factors (Pechacek et al, 2019;Stella et al, 2018). UV fluorescence can also enhance the visualisation of fungus infestation (Fig.…”
