I've added a couple of pictures but I'm afraid the little Nikon won't 
capture the whole color spectrum of the UV light. In real-time it is much 
deeper and fully colored than the picture shows it to be. But what little 
color there is appears to be close to right. I couldn't get the camera under 
the UV light and get the macro to focus. I'll need a camera upgrade to get 
the job done!  Hey Honey! I need a new camera!
Take care you all. I'm done for now.
Thanks again!
Wes
