I don't know what process you used to enhance the images, and I won't ask because I gather that some of your processes are proprietary, but if you analyze those processes, it may be possible to determine what material or energy wavelength is being highlighted to show up as the banding or contours, and from that, after figuring the material or wavelength causing the banding, it should be possible to determine what process or energy is at work, based on the material it is concentrating in the bands, shouldn't it?
