Ultraviolet radiometer, skin phototherapy (An instrument designed to measure the radiant flux (radiant power) in the ultraviolet A (UVA) and/or B (UVB) ranges during dermal therapeutic procedures. It typically includes a pre-filter intended to remove wavelengths of light not in the intended spectral range (e.g., ultraviolet A from 400 to 315 nm; ultraviolet B from 315 to 280 nm); a primary detector consisting of a temperature-stabilized, solid-state [e.g., a selenium (Se) or indium-gallium-arsenide] diode used to detect radiation; electronic circuits including an amplifier and an electric meter; a power source (e.g., a battery); and a display showing the results either in analogue or digital format.)
