Parasitic Flatworms: What to Do?

[Moe_K]

The problem, is this floressence is in the regular spectra (thats why we can see it) It only happens when a light source hits the object, the light is absorbed and is emmitted at a higher frequency. So it doesn
t happen in the dark. It is different from bioluminessence where the object makes the light. I still can't think of any way animals could see this.

UV light (which would penetrate to great depth) should work.

I need help

...It only happens when a light source hits the object, the light is absorbed and is emmitted at a higher frequency...

Actually, its emitted at a lower frequency (higher wavelength).

Stoke's Law says that in adsorbance/emission, the emitted photon must be at a lower energy.

Sorry. I'm not even really reading this thread. I just saw that statement and I can't help myself

Ok, picky picky First the nitrates and nitrites backwards, then this. I still think science should conform to me.
