Omega has been manufacturing UV filters for over 50 years. UV light (in the 200 nm - 400 nm range) has many commercial and consumer-level applications. UV light can be used in photolithography or dentistry to photoset polymers, and in biomedical applications to excite molecules during surgery. It can be used to measure DNA and to sterilize our water and the air we breathe. While useful for many things, it can also be harmful. UVA and UVB can cause sunburns and skin cancer, while the shorter wavelength UVC light can cause corneal damage in the eye. Because UV light is invisible to our eyes, the natural aversion response (looking away when something is too bright) does not work to protect us. Make sure you follow eye-safety guidelines when working with UV light sources.
