Hello all,

Since I want to do an organic chemistry experiment by using uv-light at 273 nm I'm seeking for an apparatus with the proper lamp/source/filter.

Does anyone has any experience or advice in doing photochemistry with such specific condition and knows a system which possibly could be used?

Many thanks!

Cheers,
Xplorer1

Ah, thanks Dr Du! Their site gives much information, I will discuss the low-pressure Hg lamp in my group.

For my purposes it is not required to use any filters.
