Weekly scientific facts we gonna be presenting for those who are interested not only in diving but also gathering knowledge about the underwater magic world 🥰
Light plays a significant role in all visual organisms. Fluorescence is a way to spread light and thereby creates the experience of colour perception. While fluorescence on land seemed to evolve intermittent, the near-monochromatic (blue- green) marine environment shows a natural widespread of fluorescent hues. Fluorescent light results and becomes visible to the human eye, during illumination from an external source. One can use a white or ultraviolet (UV) torch for excitation and modify it with a yellow filter to block the excitation light. The variety of bright, striking contrasts and patterns in coral reefs Biocoenosis is outstanding. So far, the underlying function of fluorescence in reefs community is not completely understood. investigations indicate fluorescence as a potential secret communication channel.
