Procedure

All that is needed is a darkened room with diffused light. Natural diffused light is prefered to artificial light which gives yellowish or greenish pictures. A flash behind the photographer should be avoided because total darkness is difficult to obtain and is dangerous for the technician to move around. The technician should set the camera on a tripod preferably before treating the suspected area in order to avoid overspraying.
