Close-up of a UK five-pound sterling (5 GBP) banknote under visible light. This region of the banknote is where an anti-counterfeiting marker has been placed. The marker is only visible under ultraviolet (UV) light. The UV light causes chemicals in the marker to fluoresce, making the marker visible as it glows. The colors depend on the chemicals used. UK and Euro banknotes use compounds of the rare earth (lanthanide) elements europium and terbium. For this image in UV light, with the marker visible, see image C013/2675.Credit:SPL / Science SourceSize:5079px × 3481px (~50 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:21st century-5 pound note-anti-counterfeiting-application-applications-bank note-bank of england-britain-C013/2674-C0132674-cash-chemistry-close-up-detail-england-english-europe-europium-five pounds-gbp-genuine-inorganic chemistry-lanthanide-lanthanides-manufactured-marked-marker-money-not fake-not visible-oxidation state-oxide-oxides-physical chemistry-pound sterling-pounds sterling-produced-rare earth-rare earths-security feature-specimen-states-technology-terbium-tracers-uk-ultraviolet tracer-use-uses-uv-visible lightFolder Legacy Identifier:spl001_hdModel release:N/AParent folder:SPL HD#13: RM/RF + clips
