RS PRO mini pocket UV AB meter IM-213 is a great value instrument for measuring mercury, xenon, metal halide or fluorescent lamps. It is commonly used for studies in the UVA region, as well as in sunlight and measures UV-AB light from exposure to natural and artificial sources. This device has many great features including a large backlit LCD display with zero and data hold functions. This meter is small, compact and lightweight and is ideal for quick and easy UV light measurement in applications such as forensics, laboratory research, electronics and much more.

UV light testers or light meters are found in applications such as;

• Industrial – monitoring blue light radiation hazards in welding process, UV EPROM erasure, Photochemical matching


• Laboratories - General laboratory use, DNA research

Mercury, xenon, metal halide or fluorescent lamps
Studies in the UVA region as well as in sunlight
UV curing light sources and any other UV light source
Measuring light intensity at the wafer plane of mask aligners

How is UV light measured?

Ultraviolet radiation is measured in the units of milliwatts per square centimetre (mW/cm2) which is energy per square centimetre received per second. Also, it is measured in the units of millijoules per square centimetre (mJ/cm2), which is energy received per unit area in a given time.
