Fig. 2 (A) Images obtained using Canon EOS camera, following irradiation with UV-A/violet light (405nm) and using yellow filter (Shorter wavelength fluorescence emissions), (B) UV-A/violet (405nm) light with orange filter (longer wavelength fluorescence emissions), (C) Orange light- 635nm with clear filter, (D) Green light–535nm with orange filter. The numbers in the images represent the materials in Table 1. Forensic Science International 2017 273, 20-28DOI: (10.1016/j.forsciint.2017.01.022) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 3 (a) Fluorescence emission of restorative materials and teeth samples when excited with blue (450nm) light and imaged with clear filter (reflectance of light), orange (longer wavelength fluorescence emissions) and yellow (shorter wavelength fluorescence emissions) filters. (b) Peak fluorescence emission of restorative materials and teeth samples plotted in ascending order when irradiated with Ultraviolet-A light (405)nm and imaged with clear, orange and yellow filters.
