It is not the light source that is expen$ive, but rather the microscope
optics and the camera.
Standard optical glass has a fairly high absorption in the UV

Dear all,
Here's another non CCP4 question: does anyone know a cheap alternative to
set up a UV source at 280 nm? I'd really like to have one :), but I really
Alfredo,
It's not clear from your email what your purpose is: to illuminate a
crystal/sample on a microscope stage or on a goniostat. In either
case, you might check out Ocean Optics (http://
www.oceanoptics.com/). They have based their systems on fiber optic
light sources and CCD

I put an array of UV LEDS on a ceramic block and connected to a power source,
as a means of detecting very small crystals once they are in the loop. The
most difficult part was supporting the LED block so that it shone onto the loop
but did not obstruct the user. The so-called UV LEDS are

Hello,
You may want to have a look at the UV LEDs, which should be the cheapest
option if you only need a specific wavelenth.
I found this on google: http://www
Dear all,
Here's another non CCP4 question: does anyone know a cheap alternative
to set up a UV source at 280 nm? I'd really like to have one :), but I
really don't have the $20K Dlls needed to buy a UV/white light source
from the crystallographic vendors :(.
Thanks so much in advance for
