Forensic investigators and researchers utilize a variety of light sources to examine the evidence found at a crime scene. Among a plethora of light sources, Ultraviolet (UV) light, in particular, has gained a positive reputation for efficient and effective examination of biologically contaminated evidence. As [...]
It is not every day that businesses deal with the problem of receiving counterfeit currency. Be that as it may, this act of forgery — despite its infrequency — cannot be overlooked. It goes without saying that this deliberate attempt to defraud the receiver is fraudulent, and that makes it [...]
Recent studies have shown that a wide variety of such contaminants exist at trace concentrations in all water supplies and in the air. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a method of disinfection that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their [...]
The study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation is known as spectroscopy. Historically, spectroscopy originated through the study of visible light dispersed according to its wavelength, by a prism. Spectroscopic data is often represented by an emission spectrum, a plot of the response of interest as a function of wavelength or frequency. [...]
Li-Fi is a technology for wireless communication between devices using light to transmit data and position. In technical terms, Li-Fi technology – visible light communication system – is capable of transmitting data at high speeds over the visible light spectrum, ultraviolet and infrared radiation. The term Li-Fi was coined by University of Edinburgh Professor Harald Haas during a TED Talk in 2011. [...]
In 2014 facing ongoing water contamination issues, Plant Bowen Water Research Center, opted for a full-scale trial of Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD) UV technology to help find a viable solution. […]
Swimming pool service professionals have long known that the water in a pool can be treated by utilizing ultraviolet (UV) rays instead of, or in addition to, pool chemicals such as chlorine. A new process has been adapted that can quickly break down pollutants in wastewater, swimming pool or drinking [...]
Universe Kogaku America adds to its existing line of lenses, new F/2.8 lenses for ultraviolet quartz lens assemblies. These lenses are well suited for forensic investigation and other UV and Infra-red imaging applications. The new UVS lenses have a smaller package size than the standard UV lenses. The lenses are available in [...]
New Miniature UV Lens Universe Kogaku has released our unique Miniature UV Quartz Lens. Unlike anything else on the market, this lens features 9.0mm focal length with an F/number of 2.8. More importantly, this lens is packaged in the popular M12 x 0.5 pitch threaded barrel. Call for [...]
Universe stocks a full range of neutral density skylights and closeup filters. When combined with these step rings, our filters will fit most common lenses.
