Rhodamine B Powder

The rhodamine B is a chemical used as a dye or tracer to track a liquid to detect direction of flow. Rhodamine fluoresces when illuminated with ultraviolet light. Rhodamine gives a violet colour, called Acid Red 52.

Once you introduce Rhodamine B in water, you get a fluorescent liquid, detectable with the naked eye and in dark environments under ultraviolet light.
