Beauty and science do not always align

Once again a useless photo from a scientific point of view, but one of my favourites from an artistic viewpoint.

Beautiful. What type of cube did you use? I see red and blue/green emission. Was this UV excitation?

I custom designed the cube. It has a wide band UV/blue excitation spectrum with a 500nm dichroic mirror and a long pass 500nm emission filter.

Nice job. That cube is giving you great colors.
