UVP UVL-14 Upland long wave white light

• Fluorescence microscopy for biological samples and material science.
• UV curing and inspection in various industrial processes.
• Gel electrophoresis visualisation in molecular biology.
• Non-destructive testing and crack detection.
• Forensic analysis and document examination.

Wavelength

This unit is specified as long wave UV (UVA), typically around 365 nm, combined with white light illumination.

Illumination area

For this class of equipment, the illumination area is typically suitable for microscope stages or small laboratory samples.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard laboratory mains power, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Lamp type

Often utilises fluorescent tubes or LED arrays for both UV and white light sources.

Controls

Typically features simple on/off switches and potentially separate controls for UV and white light.

Footprint

Designed to be compact for benchtop use, often integrated with or placed adjacent to a microscope.

• What is the primary function of a long wave UV light source in microscopy?

  Long wave UV light is primarily used to excite fluorophores in samples, causing them to emit visible light, which is then observed through the microscope. It is also used for general UV illumination tasks.

• Can this unit be used for both UV and standard white light applications?

• What safety precautions are necessary when operating a UV light source?

• Is this unit suitable for quantitative fluorescence studies?

• What kind of maintenance does a UV light source typically require?

Used microscopes are widely regarded as reliable investments when sourced from reputable suppliers. Buyers typically prioritize optical quality, mechanical condition and calibration history. Key considerations include lens cleanliness, stage functionality and electronic components if applicable. Industrial and laboratory users consistently value equipment with documented maintenance records and original accessories. Established brands tend to retain functionality well across decades. Buyers should verify light source operability and request detailed condition reports before purchase to ensure equipment meets specific magnification and resolution requirements.
