Most fluorescent dyes have what wavelength range?

Explanation:
Fluorescent dyes emit visible light at characteristic wavelengths when excited by UV or blue light. For the dyes commonly used in LPI, the emission falls mainly in the green to yellow portion of the spectrum, roughly 475–575 nm. That range covers the bright green–yellow glow you see under typical UV/blue excitation with the appropriate viewing/filtering. Emission outside this range, like UV (300–350 nm) or red (600–700 nm), is not representative of the common fluorescent penetrants. So the 475–575 nm range best matches the usual emitted fluorescence.
