UVfilttereiden

UVfilttereiden are devices designed to block or reduce ultraviolet (UV) radiation. They are commonly used in photography to protect camera lenses and to enhance image quality by minimizing haze and preventing unwanted color casts caused by UV light. In photography, UV filters are often made of glass with a special coating that absorbs UV wavelengths. They are screwed onto the front of the lens.

Beyond photography, UV filters are employed in various other applications. For instance, they are incorporated into sunglasses to protect the wearer's eyes from harmful UV rays. Many windows and building materials also feature UV filtering properties, either through coatings or the composition of the material itself, to prevent fading of interior furnishings and to protect occupants from UV exposure. Additionally, UV filters are crucial in laboratory settings and in industrial processes where control over UV light is necessary. The effectiveness of a UV filter is typically measured by its ability to transmit visible light while blocking specific UV wavelengths. Different types of UV filters exist, each tailored to particular applications and levels of UV protection required.
