A small issue regarding figure 1

Posted by paulnasca on 24 Jul 2009 at 08:35 GMT

The article is very interesting and it is the answer of the question that I asked many years ago: "Does the human body emit light in the visible spectrum?".

I noticed a small error regarding the figure 1 (by cross-eye viewing the images): it seems that the figure 1 F ("Image at 19:10") and 1 G ("Image at 22:10") are exactely the same image.
