- Since 1989 I have measured the ozone layer, solar ultraviolet and the clarity of the air over South-Central Texas.
- The amplified products were electrophoresed through a 1.5% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide and viewed under ultraviolet light.
- The extreme ultraviolet power was only a few watts, but it was adequate to detect molecular hydrogen.
- The thermal tide may also be responsible for dim ultraviolet radiation observed to come from the middle of the night hemisphere.

COLLOCATIONS FROM THE CORPUSNOUN· The amplified products were electrophoresed through a 1.5% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide and viewed under ultraviolet light.· If a mutant strain appears that eschews recombination, it proves to be especially susceptible to damage by ultraviolet light.· Melanin producing cells in our bodies are activated by ultraviolet light from the sun and can have a protective effect.· Fastaged beef is held at about 70-F for two days at high humidity levels; ultraviolet light is used to control spoilage.· Right, the same flower as seen by a bee, photographed in ultraviolet light.· Other experts suggested the use of high-frequency sound waves or ultraviolet light.· Strictly speaking the extreme ultraviolet light does not come from a laser, but it does retain the coherence of the original.· Such gases, mixed with water vapour, were subjected to electrical discharge and ultraviolet light.
· But because ultraviolet radiation is a constant feature of solar radiation, the ozone layer is maintained.· If ozone deterioration persisted, they warned, solar ultraviolet radiation would flood Earth.· The satellite, called Astron, is intended to study ultraviolet radiation and X-rays from celestial objects.· Large areas, including the United States, continue to get increasingly harmful ultraviolet radiation.· However, ultraviolet radiation must also have aided evolution.· The thermal tide may also be responsible for dim ultraviolet radiation observed to come from the middle of the night hemisphere.· The economic consequences for food crops and other plants of the resulting increase in ultraviolet radiation have received less attention.· So ultraviolet radiation from the Sun would have been felt more powerfully then, than now.
