A look at what EL / Electroluminescence is and how to do it.
* How to use a full spectrum / astro / paranormal camera to see cracks and flaws on a solar panel.
* Are solar panels cracked and flawed from the manufacturer. I test a brand new solar panel.

Rare video, thorough explanation with minute details which are not dealt with by many. Thanks !

[@SeanBZA]

One add on to that would be a remote release, which obviates the need to touch the camera once focussed and ready. Depending on the camera you plug it in to the USB port or the remote control port.

When bench photographing, especially with something producing luminescence, use black felt. They make a felt specifically for photography.

Hello, Thanks for the detailed process explanation. Can you please share any new model with 60mp camera to use for EL? And how to select lenses!

[@user-ie8sl6eq8t]

very helpful!!

[@fabli3404]

Superb!! many thakns!! I am repeating myself here, but could you please tell me the right model _specs of the camera you got (already without IR cut-off filter)?

[@kdanielms]

hello there. Why didint you use your riden PSU? Is there any difference between that one and the one you used?

[@3zuli]

An incandescent or halogen lamp should work much better for focusing. The LED flashlight doesn't emit much IR light.

[@almask5197]

It will be great help to me if you can suggest the specification for buying the camera, i am unable to find on eBay.

[@mxmdaveo2]

Mobile phone cameras can see IR from remotes can you use an App on a phone with shutter speed and ISO app to do this ?

I thought you'd started a Spanish channel ;)
