|
Nowadays, the protocol of any biological study involving a source that emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation implies the measurement of the UV dose received by the irradiated sample or skin. Most of the time, the dose is calculated by multiplying the measured irradiance by the duration of exposure. UV sources may differ from one laboratory to another or from one study to another. Several authors evidenced wide divergences between radiometric readings, especially in the dUVB range (dUVB: 290-320 waveband) (1-4). These errors can, and have to, be corrected, for example in phototherapy treatments (5). Published results involve a limited set of radiometers. The objective of this study was to estimate the extent of variation of irradiances that are measured by different radiometers. Added by: Sarina |
