High quality UV tables show almost no visible light. - The quality of the UV light source and of the filter can easily be tested: UV light is invisible to the human eye. When the instrument is switched on and the position of the UV lamps are easy to detect, too much of the long wavelenght light will be emitted and the result is a much lower sensitivity (see figure below). ![](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/bilder/uv-tisch/performance-ohen-schrift00_1100x528.jpg) The FastGene® UV Transilluminator passes this test without a problem. Furthermore the FastGene® UV Transilluminator includes a specifically manufactured filter system and shows a very effective protection against harmful UV radiation (see figure below) ![](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/bilder/uv-tisch/safety-20_500x442.jpg) ### Specifications Size288 mm x 340 mm x 80 mmViewing area260 mm x 210 mmWeight4,3 kgUV wave lenght302 nmUV lamps6 x 8 WattPower100-240 V 50-60 HzUV transmissibility0.01 %### Documents [FG-300\_FG UV Transilluminator\_Manual\_vers 2020](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/2020/03/FG-300_FG-UV-Transilluminator_Manual_vers-2020.pdf) ### FAQ ##### Can you change the UV lamp in the FG-300 and is it available from you?
