Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) imaging is finding increasing applications in different fields such as food and agriculture, forensic sciences, astronomy and microscopy. In UV imaging, UV light gets absorbed on the surface of the material which enables to view surface topology not requiring light penetration.
