FLUORESCENCE PHOTOGRAPHYAuthors: Prof. Robin Williams and Gigi Williams Applications of the ultraviolet technique:
|
| Application | Notes | Reference |
| Bacterial plates Bladder tumour |
Showed colour examples of H. Pertussis having a strong characteristic blue/white fluorescence. Also showed how a tumour of a bladder specimen was clearly delineated because it did not fluoresce as strongly as the background tissue. | Tredinnick 1955 |
| Specimens and bacteriology | In a chapter on ultraviolet photography examples of specimens and bacteriology were discussed. | Hansell 1961 |
| Fungal cultures | Demonstrated characteristic colour fluorescence for several types of fungi. | Weiss 1968 |
| Bone growth | Assessment of bone growth in Perthes' disease. Presented longitudinal sections of the head of the femur, fluorochromed with tetracycline. | Klosevych 1971 |
| Bone growth | Used the technique for a study of implantation of prostheses and noted it was possible to see where bone was extended into acrylic cement. | Ruddick 1977 |
| Ruddick 1977 | Further short article which mentioned the use of the fluorescence technique for research into Perthes' disease. | Ruddick 1979 |
