I had a chemistry class where the teacher was a collector of phosphorescent stones. One of the stones, it may have been quartz, fluoresced with a beautiful red color.
I know there have been a few posts about minerals that fluoresce when 280nm light is shown on them. But, does anyone know specifically if the thorium within monazite fluoresces when a 280nm laser or say a 300lumen UV flashlight is pointed at it? I could just go out to the field and start looking...
You guys are awesome for posting this stuff. As soon as my tax return comes, I'm going to build the scanners. I question electromagnet vs voice coil, however all is awesome. Modulating lasers, using raster scanning, I'm stoked. Any comments on how to determine which mosfet to use? Thanks...
