Can I see corona discharge in sunlight with the UVcorder™?

0

No, and you cannot see corona any better than the dark adapted eye, even in the dark. The UVCorder is not suitable for detection of corona. The correct product for this application is the DayCor camera, which uses a solar-blind UV image intensifier that is fused to a visible-light image of the scene. The UVCorder can image electrical discharges such as those from natural lightning and Tesla Coils, but the discharges generally appear no brighter than they would on standard color video.
