Oh, sorry: now I understand, but I couldn't link polarized light, yellow
and blue, and UV when you made the joke.
Perhaps too fascinated with the Heidinger brush ... :)
I flied into that site not long ago, when mentioned here. Didn't have

is very welcomed.
To confuse me further, I had just finished a hard scanning job of two
drops of nectar ... could resize and send offlist if you wish.
