” Fluorescence is the absorption of electromagnetic radiation (light) at one wavelength and its re-emission at another, longer wavelength ” Dr Charles Mazel. I attached a link to his website at the bottom of the page for more info.
In order to photograph fluorescence you will need a excitation source (blue light), barrier filter and a camera.
