Description
Description: In a darkroom, expose them to an Ultraviolet light (long wave fluorescent light - the type used in school science labs or theatrical productions). It will enable you to identify them by colour. Some of these specimens will also react to shortwave fluorescent light sources. Be careful...if you use a shortwave lamp, do not look into the light without protective eye cover - it could cause severe eye damage.
