| These images are captured with a grayscale (B&W) QuickCam through red, green, blue and ultraviolet- transmitting filters. The captured grayscale images are combined with the "merge channels" function in Adobe Photoshop. The R-G-B composites on the left side appear like images taken with a conventional colour digital camera. The G-B-U images on the right side are false-color renditions that incorporates the ultraviolet image. Infrared light was excluded by the built-in IR-blocking filter in the QuickCam. |
