Image, ultraviolet

Extracts of pure proanthocyanidins have been prepared using reversephase and adsorption chromatography, and their identity confirmed with 13C nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and chemical reagent tests (Howell and Vorsa, 1998). 

Scintillators are also used in the detectors of CT scanners. Here an electronic detector, the photomultiplier tube, is used to produce an electrical signal from the visible and ultraviolet light photons. These imaging systems typically need fast scintillators with a high efficiency. 

An example, Figure 9 is an SFM image of a Langmuir-Blodgett film. This film was polymerized with ultraviolet light, giving a periodicity of 200 A, which is seen in the associated Fourier transform. The low forces exerted by the SFM tip are essential for imaging such soft polymer surfaces. 

Chemical fixation for transmission electron microscopy prepares cells for the preservation of damage due to subsequent washing with aqueous solvents, dehydration with organic solvents such as ethanol or acetone, embedding in plastic resins, polymerization of the resins by heat, exothermic catalysts, or ultraviolet radiation, and imaging with high-energy electron beams in an electron microscope. 

In luminescent microscope, light from the ultraviolet source (UV source) excites the fluorescence of the object, the luminescent image might be catched... 

An instrument used for obtaining magnified images of small objects. For illumination of the object microscopes may use ordinary light, ultraviolet light or a beam of electrons. See Electron Microscope. 

In addition to a fluorescence perturbation, the Cd(II)-5d combination also uniquely yields aperturbation in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. A difference spectrum obtained by subtracting a fractional amount of an uncomplexed 5d spectrum from the perturbed spectrum is the mirror image of a fluorescence difference spectrum obtained by similar means. Moreover, excitation at 400 nm (where 1-4 are weakly absorbing but where moderate absorption is seen in the difference spectrum) gives rise to an emission spectrum with identical shape and Amax (456 nm) to that of the fluorescence difference spectrum. Thus, evidence points to the existence of two equilibrating ground state species as the physical basis for the chelatoselective emission. Bouas-Laurent has reported a related observation in methanol where a red-shifted CHEF was observed for a T1(I) 7r-complex.(14)...
