A five‐channel LED display to investigate UV perception
Abstract
The ability to see ultraviolet (UV) light (<400 nm) may have importance for foraging, communication or navigation in many taxa including insects, crustaceans, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Behavioural experiments reveal how vision mediates such behaviour; however, our knowledge of UV perception is constrained by the challenge of creating and calibrating stimuli that reflect or emit UV. Commonly used technologies for displaying visual stimuli—such as computer screens and printers—are designed for human vision and thus are unsuitable for testing UV perception.
