IR light reflects almost equally from each print color. Choosing the best Wavelength (nm) wavelength for your inspection needs is essential. UVlight blue light green light white light red light IR light Infrared (IR) Light Series Infrared light's long wavelength often allows for less scattering from part surfaces and higher transmission rates through them. Higher transmission means it can pass through more materials making IR light ideal for inspecting package fill levels or ensuring against foreign matter. Lower surface scattering means IR light can often be used to ignore some surface paint or print for unobstructed inspection for surface details such as scratches, chips, holes, edges, or characters on a wide variety of materials including paper, cloth, plastics and metals.

A moderate 20 degree LED light spread contributes to illumination intensity, range, and uniformity.

  • Ultraviolet – Visible Spectroscopy for Determination of Α- and Β-Acids in Beer Hops Katharine Chau Lab Partner: Logan Bi
    Ultraviolet – Visible Spectroscopy for Determination of α- and β-acids in Beer Hops Katharine Chau Lab Partner: Logan Billings TA: Kevin Fischer Date lab performed: 3/20/2018 Date report submitted: 4/9/2018 ABSTRACT: In this experiment, the content of α- and β-acids in beer hops is found through UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis. Three samples will be prepared by extracting finely grained hops through methanol and diluting with methanolic NaOH. The spectrums obtained give a constant overall shape. The experiment was done to find out the concentration of the third component from degraded α- and β-acids that is also existing in the hops samples with the help of the calculated concentrations of α- and β-acids. From the calculated results, the average concentration of the third component in all three samples was 0.061 g/L. INTRODUCTION: UV-Vis spectroscopy is a useful absorption or reflectance spectroscopy that helps determine the quantity of analytes by detecting the absorptivity or reflectance of a sample under ultra-violet to visible light wavelength range (1). In this experiment, the absorptivity of the samples were measured and the content of different components were determined from the spectrum. In this lab, UV-Vis spectroscopy was used in to obtain absorbance spectrums of α- and β- acids found in difference hops samples. The structures of α- and β-acids are shown as the Fig. 1 below. Figure 1. Structures of major α- and β-acids found in hops By understanding the content of α-acid in the hops, the bitterness flavor of beer can be controlled since the bitterness is formed by the iso-form of α-acid through isomization of α-acid.

We present simultaneous ultraviolet and X-ray observations of the dMe-type flaring stars AT Mic, AU Mic, EV Lac, UV Cet and YZ CMi obtained with the XMM-Newton observatory. During 40 h of simultaneous observation we identify 13 flares which occurred in both wave bands. For the first time, a correlation between X-ray and ultraviolet flux for stellar flares has been observed. We find power-law relationships between these two wavelength bands for the flare luminosity increase, as well as for flare energies, with power-law exponents between 1 and 2. We also observe a correlation between the ultraviolet flare energy and the X-ray luminosity increase, which is in agreement with the Neupert effect and demonstrates that chromospheric evaporation is taking place.

  • Ultraviolet and Green Light Cause Different Types of Damage in Rat Retina
    Ultraviolet and Green Light Cause Different Types of Damage in Rat Retina Theo G. M. F. Gorgels? and Dirk van Norren*^ Purpose. To assess the influence of wavelength on retinal light damage in rat with funduscopy and histology and to determine a detailed action spectrum. Methods. Adult Long Evans rats were anesthetized, and small patches of retina were exposed to narrow-band irradiations in the range of 320 to 600 nm using a Xenon arc and Maxwellian view conditions. After 3 days, the retina was examined with funduscopy and prepared for light microscopy. Results. The dose that produced a change just visible in fundo was determined for each wavelength. This threshold dose for funduscopic damage increased monotonically from 0.35 J/cm2 at 320 nm to 1600 J/cm2 at 550 nm. At 600 nm, exposure of more than 3000J/cnr did not cause funduscopic damage. Morphologic changes in retinas exposed to threshold doses at wavelengths from 320 to 440 nm were similar and consisted of pyknosis of photorecep- tors. Retinas exposed to threshold doses of 470 to 550 nm had different morphologic appear- ances. Retinal pigment epithelial cells were swollen, and their melanin had lost the characteris- tic apical distribution. Some pyknosis was found in photoreceptors. Conclusions. Damage sensitivity in rat increases enormously from visible to ultraviolet wave- lengths. Compelling evidence is presented that two morphologically distinct types of damage occur in the rat retina, depending on the wavelength. Because two types also have been described in monkey, a remarkable similarity seems to exist across species. Invest Ophthahnol VisSci.

  • Undersea Warfare
    THE EMERGING ERA IN UNDERSEA WARFARE BRYAN CLARK www.csbaonline.org 1 The Emerging Era in Undersea Warfare Introduction U.S. defense strategy depends in large part on America’s advantage in undersea warfare. Quiet submarines are one of the U.S. military’s most viable means of gathering intelligence and pro- jecting power in the face of mounting anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) threats being fielded by a growing number of countries. As a result, undersea warfare is an important, if not essential, element of current and future U.S. operational plans. America’s rivals worry in particular about the access submarines provide for U.S. power-projection operations, which can help offset an enemy’s numerical or geographic advantages.1 Broadly speaking, undersea warfare is the employment of submarines and other undersea sys- tems in military operations within and from the underwater domain. These missions may be both offensive and defensive and include surveillance, insertion of Special Forces, and destroy- ing or neutralizing enemy military forces and undersea infrastructure. America’s superiority in undersea warfare is the product of decades of research and develop- ment (R&D), a sophisticated defense industrial base, operational experience, and high-fidelity training. This superiority, however, is far from assured. U.S. submarines are the world’s qui- etest, but new detection techniques are emerging that do not rely on the noise a submarine makes, and that may render traditional manned submarine operations far riskier in the future. America’s competitors are likely pursuing these technologies while also expanding their own undersea forces.

  • Xcited from Its Ground State to an Electronic Excited State
    Chapter 1: UV-Visible & Fluorescence Spectroscopy This chapter covers two methods of spectroscopic characterization: UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy (often abbreviated as UV-Vis) and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. These two methods are measured over the same range of wavelengths, but are caused by two different phenomena. In both cases, the wavelengths used are the near-ultraviolet range (200 to 400 nm) and the visible range (400 to 750 nm). These two regions are typically considered together as a single category because there is a common physical basis for the behavior of a compound in both UV and visible light. UV-Vis measures the absorption of light in this range, while fluorescence measures the light emitted by a sample in this range after absorbing light at a higher energy than it is emitting. 1.1 UV-Visible Spectroscopy UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy involves measuring the absorbance of light by a compound as a function of wavelength in the UV-visible range. When a molecule absorbs a photon of UV-Vis light, the molecule is excited from its ground state to an electronic excited state. In other words, an electron is promoted from the HOMO (Highest-energy Occupied Molecular Orbital) of the molecule to the LUMO (Lowest-energy Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) of the molecule. The HOMO is commonly a π orbital of a conjugated functional group and the LUMO is commonly a π* orbital of the conjugated functional group. The smaller the energy difference between HOMO and LUMO, the less energy is needed and the longer the wavelength that will be absorbed (Figure 1-1).

  • Learn More About X-Rays, CT Scans and Mris (Pdf)
    What is the difference between X-Rays, CT Scans, and MRIs? X-Rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light. They are less energetic than gamma rays, and more energetic than ultraviolet light. Because they pass easily through soft tissue, like organs and muscles, but not so easily through hard tissue like bones and teeth, we are most familiar with them being used to look at skeletal structures. Sometimes a person ingests or has injected an X-ray opaque fluid that will fill a space of interest for X-ray imaging. This is called an angiogram. A nuclear scan uses an injected gamma ray emitting substance that accumulates in the organ of interest and a special camera records the gamma rays. A CT Scan is usually a series of X-rays taken from different directions that are then assembled into a three dimensional model of the subject in a computer. CT stands for computed tomography, and tomography means a picture of a slice. Where an X-ray may show edges of soft tissues all stacked on top of each other, the computer in a CT scan can figure out how those edges relate to each other in depth, and so the image has much more soft tissue usability. Another kind of CT scan uses positrons. I have to mention this because positrons are antimatter electrons (Yes, antimatter does exist and it is useful!) In Positon Emission Tomography (PET) a positron emitting radionuclide (radioactive material) is attached to a metabolically useful molecule. This is introduced to the tissue, and as emitted positrons decompose they emit gamma rays which can be traced by the machine and computer back to their points of origin, and an image is formed.

  • REVERSIBLE COLOR MODIFICATION of BLUE ZIRCON by LONG-WAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION Nathan D
    FEATURE AR ICLES REVERSIBLE COLOR MODIFICATION OF BLUE ZIRCON BY LONG-WAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION Nathan D. Renfro Exposing blue zircon to long-wave ultraviolet (LWUV) radiation introduces a brown coloration, resulting in a somewhat unattractive, much less valuable gemstone. Common sources of accidental long-wave radiation that can affect mounted faceted blue zircons are tanning beds and UV lights used to apply acrylic fingernails. To determine if the LWUV-induced brown color in zircon is completely and easily reversible, quantitative UV-visible spectroscopy was used to measure the difference in absorption before and after LWUV exposure. This study explored the nature of the UV-induced color-causing defect to es- tablish whether subsequent exposure to visible light would completely restore the blue color. Spectro- scopic examination showed that blue color in zircon is due to a broad absorption band in the ordinary ray, starting at 500 nm and centered at approximately 650 nm. LWUV exposure induced absorption features, including a broad band centered at 485 nm that was responsible for the brown color. irconium silicate (ZrSiO ), better known as zir- cern was returning the stones to their vivid blue color. 4 con, is prized for its brilliance, vibrant color, One of these stones was reportedly restored to the de- Zand high clarity.
