  • A small starfish is on a rock that seems to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light at low tide on Puget Sound in Des Moines, Washington. The glow is the result of phosphors that convert ultraviolet radiation, which is invisible to human eyes, into wavelengths that are visible. This scene was captured under black light.

  • A flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) bud fluoresces under ultraviolet light in Snohomish County, Washington. Under white light, this bud would appear brownish-red and green. The bright red and violet colors are the result of fluorescence, a type of photoluminescence, in which certain chemicals absorb light that is invisible to human eyes and emit some of it at a different wavelength that we can see. This scene was captured under black light.

  • Three green iguanas (Iguana iguana) sun themselves in a tree near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Green iguanas have special cells in their eyes called "double cone cells" that allow them to see ultraviolet wavelenghts of light, helping them to position themselves to receive enough UVA and UVB from sunlight.
