Ultraviolet 'television' for animals helps us better understand them | India Education,Education News India,Education News

Share University of Queensland scientists have developed an ultraviolet ‘television’ display designed to help researchers better understand how animals see the world. Until now, standard monitors on devices like televisions or computer screens have been used to display visual stimuli in animal vision studies, but none have been able to test ultraviolet vision – the ability to see wavelengths of light shorter than 400 nanometres. Dr Samuel Powell from the Queensland Brain Institute‘s Marshall lab said this new technology will help unveil the secrets of sight in all sorts of animals, such as fish, birds and insects. “Human TVs generally use three colours – red, green and blue – to create images, but our newly-developed displays have five, including violet and ultraviolet,” Dr Powell said.

The team from the Queensland Brain Institute’s Marshall lab at the University of Queensland designed the display specifically to measure how clownfish interact with ultraviolet (UV) light. “Never anything good on.” A clownfish watches the UQ-designed UV display Credit:Valerio Tettamanti Dr Samuel Powell said many animals can see into the UV end of the spectrum beyond what humans can see, and they wanted to test how they interact with objects that give off UV light.
