UVCTest Material Exposure Instrument - 3

Basics of UV Radiation The UV range of the electromagnetic spectrum contains three types of UV. The UVA (between 315-400nm) and UVB (280-315nm) are the ranges of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth’s surface from sunlight. The recognized “cut-on” wavelength is 295nm. Atlas has historically offered light sources that closely match this radiation with either xenon-arc or fluorescent UV. Researchers develop additives and formulations to protect materials from natural sunlight. UVC radiation (200-280nm) does not reach the earth’s surface, but sterilization devices, using a light source...
