System for detecting fluorescing substances on non-fluorescing material using the human eye

摘要

An apparatus for detecting a fluorescing substance on a test material includes a light source configured to direct light energy toward the test material, and one or more display features configured to display fluorescing light from the test material. When light from the light source contacts the fluorescing material, display features allows the fluorescing material to project a fluorescing glow into an ambient environment near the apparatus.

主权项

1. An apparatus for detecting a fluorescing substance on a test material, comprising:
a light source configured to direct light energy toward a test material having thereon a fluorescing substance, and at least one display feature capable of being viewed through a viewing window in the apparatus, the display feature being configured to display fluorescing light from the test material and to project a fluorescing glow through the viewing window into an ambient environment when light from the light source contacts the fluorescing substance on the test material, wherein the display feature capable of being viewed through a viewing window in the apparatus, the display feature being is at least partially comprised of, and/or is at least partially coated, with a material that illuminates when exposed to fluorescing light.
