I concur with you Hersch but would add that the danger is not from the brightness of the light but from the ultraviolet light rays that the sun emits and which are not screened out all that much by one-way mirrors and pentaprisms. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Is there anyone in the UK with a Minolta QuickScan 35 that they'd be willing to loan me for a few days? It looks like this scanner uses almost the same scsi commands as the Minolta Scan Speed, so it wouldn't be too much work to add support for it. Thanks, Ed Hamrick

True, but only a very small amount. UV filters filter only enough to keep the image from displaying haze and color shift effects but not enough to protect eyes from the harmful effects over any prolonged period of time like more than 5 minutes duration or great accumulations of short duration

Infrared is also a serious, if not worse, hazard. Glass is fairly transparent to it, as shown by greenhouses, passive solar panels, the burning of holes with magnifying glasses, and the feasibility of IR photography with ordinary lenses. Most glasses absorb UV much more strongly than IR. Most of

Infra-red is on the other end of the light spectrum and is of very low energy per photon compared even to light. It is manifested to us as heat. How is this dangerous? It is only when you get into microwaves on the wide end of the spectrum that electromagnetic radiation becomes dangerous. Since
