Version 2.0 enclosure modifications¶

The design of this current version 2.0 of the UV Transilluminator is a slight modification of the UV Transilluminator v 1.0 described in a previous Instructable tutorial. The design has been modified slightly as described below:

• Viewing window increased to 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm (v 1.0 was 7 cm2)
• Design now includes a 9 cm2 UV transmissive diffuser which sits above the UV bulb
• Power entry switch now sits on the side of the box for easier access within a commercial Imaging Enclosure
• Acrylic material used to make the five parts of the enclosure base and sides has been changed to 1/8” black acrylic (v1.0 was 1/4” black acrylic)
• An additional part on the top has been included in this design to prevent any light leakage around the sides of the transilluminator glass
• New enclosure dimensions: 19.8 cm long x 14.9 cm wide x 6.5 cm tall
• Changes to the hardware (see the project on Bitbucket for the new BOM)
• Safety lid (clear or amber) has been increased to 10 cm x 10 cm (v1.0 was 8.2 cm x 10 cm)
