Imaging Outside of the Visible Wednesday 22nd September, 8-10 pm
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Imaging Science Group were unable to organise Good Picture symposia for 2020 and 2021. The group’s committee recognise this is as disappointing for would be attendees as it is for the committee and have made available some past presentations in their archive. However, there is no substitute for the real thing! To address this the Imaging Science Group is holding a series of mini e-symposia, where guest speakers from previous Good Picture symposia will reprise, via Zoom webinars, some of their previous presentations, updated where appropriate. The first of these mini e-symposia is Imaging Outside of the Visible. The vast majority of our photography is done using the wavelengths of light that our eye responds to. However, capturing images at wavelengths we cannot see, opens up a whole new world for us. Our two speakers are focussing on two very differing subjects, photographs of human skin and photographs of plants. However, they both utilise light that is beyond the range of visible wavelengths (400nm – 700nm). During each lecture you will be able to use the Zoom Q&A facility to pose questions to the speakers, who will address your questions following the completion of their lecture. The lectures are:Lecture 1 - Dr Jonathan Crowther: Imaging the Skin – UV, Visible and IR (JMC Scientific Consulting Ltd.) Photographic imaging of the skin is used across a wide range of research industries, from cosmetics through to pharmaceuticals and forensics. Moving away from straight visible light photography, and using techniques such as cross polarization, and UV induced fluorescence, or even photographing in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum such as Ultraviolet and Infrared, can provide
