The University of Queensland’s scientists have developed an ultraviolet ‘television’ display, aiming to help researchers better understand how animals see the world.
Standard monitors have been used previously, but none have been able to test ultraviolet vision - the ability to see wavelengths of light shorter than 400 nanometres.
The technology will help unveil the secrets of sights in all sorts of animals, such as fish and birds, according to Dr Samuel Powell from the Queensland Brain Institute’s Marshal Lab.
