Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Bestimmung eines UV-Strahlungs-Indexes

NOVELTY - Light radiation, captured by an Ulbricht sphere (1) serving as a diffuser, is fed to a light radiation detector (3) in the sphere. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An evaluation curve in the detector showing the biological B-potency from UV radiation as a function of the wave length, lambda , is combined with the spectral intensity distribution of radiation detected in the UV range and adjusted according to the wavelength dependence of the detector's sensitivity in such a way that a measuring signal sent out by the light detector (4) in the light radiation detector is shown on a display device (8) as a UV radiation index after preset calibration. USE - In health work, medical applications, etc. ADVANTAGE - This device can record sun radiation for high solar altitudes, including small zenith angles in the sun, and so record times of day in which the level of UV radiation causing skin damage is particularly relevant. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a diagram of a device for identifying indices on physiological exposure through UV radiation.
