Abstract
A compact, easy to use apparatus for irradiating an object such as a specimen of material with ultraviolet radiation at a selected long, short or mid-wave length. The apparatus of the invention includes a plurality of ultraviolet sources, each emitting radiation at a different wave length. The sources are mounted within a rotatable array so that a selected one of the sources can be sequentially moved into alignment with the specimen and then automatically energized by merely rotating the array.
Claims19
An apparatus for irradiating an object with ultraviolet radiation comprising:
- (a) an array of sources of ultraviolet radiation, each source being capable of emitting ultraviolet radiation at a particular wave length;
- and
- (b) means for moving said array so that only a selected one of said sources emits radiation in the direction of the object.
An apparatus for emitting ultraviolet radiation comprising:
- (a) a support;
- rotatably mounted on said support and including at least two sources of ultraviolet radiation, each said source being capable of emitting ultraviolet radiation at a particular wave length;
- and
- (c) means for controllably rotating said array so that a selected one of said sources emits radiation in a first direction.
An apparatus for irradiating an object with ultraviolet radiation comprising:
- (a) an array of sources of ultraviolet radiation comprising three fluorescent tubes, each said tube emitting ultraviolet radiation at a different wave length;
- and
- (b) support means for rotatably supporting said array that each said tube is sequentially movable into a position whereby ultraviolet radiation from said tube is directed toward the object.
