UV probes: Calibrated precision instruments for measuring points that are difficult to access

The Opsytec UV probes measure irradiance at measuring points that are difficult to access. They are available in three versions and the standard lengths 15 cm and 30 cm; with an outer diameter of only 6 mm and a probe operating temperature of up to 200 °C, they complement the RMD radiometer and the spectroradiometers UVpad E and SR900. All UV probes come with a diffuser, which enables the absolute measurement of irradiance and ensures the required cosine correction during non-perpendicular irradiation.

The UV probes are, together with the radiometers, traceably calibrated to the PTB, recalibratable and are supplied with a factory calibration certificate. By using appropriate materials, an outstanding long-term stability is achieved. A repair service and parts supply is of course available for many years.

The versions “side-on” and “head-on” are suitable for irradiance measurements e.g. of mercury medium pressure emitters or the effective disinfecting UVC irradiance (UVGI). The “integrating” version measures in all directions and is thus designed as entrance optics for spectral radiometers for the detection of the lamp spectra.

For the use with a radiometer, our standard range contains seven spectral ranges and three measuring ranges. Due to the integrated electronics, several UV probes can be connected to one radiometer.
For the use with a spectral radiometer, the UV probes are delivered with a changeable SMA connection.
