Original title Zaščitnye očki dlja operatorov [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Oct. 1983, No.10, p.19. Illus.
Abstract Surface defects in metal, plastic and glass articles are frequently monitored by ultraviolet defectoscopy. The operators of the inspection equipment must spend long periods of time observing surfaces illuminated by ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 300-400nm. New goggles have been developed to protect the eyes of these operators. The goggles have special glass lenses mounted in vinyl frames. The 2mm-thick lenses pass 85-90% of incident visible light, but absorb most of the incident ultraviolet light, and show very little luminescence themselves.
