Wavelength range of a typical camera CCD/CMOS sensor
Figure 2-9. Schematic representation of the spectral output disctribution (SPD) of a BLB ultraviolet
light compared to the wavelength range of a CCD/CMOS sensor. Excitation: the same lamps and
filters as for UVR can be used. Emission: a filter is required which will allow only light in the visible
region (400-700 nm) through and block any UV or IR radiation. Shading shows wavelengths to be
excluded (filtered) from the camera.
