"Unsolarized" Glass Fluorescence - UVc

Shown here is a collection of different glass types demonstrating their fluorescence under UV light. Shown is a soda-lime watch glass, a borosilicate test tube and three pairs of flint glass eyeglasses. The bottom two pairs of eyeglasses are photochromic and turn dark (and glow green) when exposed to the sun's UV light.

 

Contains:

Soda-lime glass (FL Yellowish >UVc)

Borosilicate glass (FL Blue,White >UVb,c)

Flint glass (FL White >UVbc)

Flint glass - Photochromic (FL Green, White-green >UVab,c)

 

Shown under UVc light.
