Uv light viewing apparatus facilitating sample testing

An ultraviolet (UV) light viewing apparatus, comprising:

• a housing configured to block ambient and UV light, the housing having a floor, a roof, and a sidewall cooperating to define an interior sample test-receiving volume enclosed along a rear end of the housing and portions of opposing first and second sides of the housing to thereby define an access opening providing access to the interior sample test-receiving volume that extends along a front end of the housing and portions of opposing first and second sides of the housing;
• at least one UV light source configured to illuminate the interior sample test-receiving volume;
• an opening defined within the roof of the housing, the opening configured to enable visualization into the interior sample test-receiving volume;
• and
• a curtain engaged with the housing and configured to block ambient and UV light, the curtain including a front portion extending along the front end of the housing and first and second side portions that extend along respective first and second portions of the opposing first and second sides of the housing not occupied by the sidewall such that the curtain substantially covers the access opening.
