Six ways UV imaging
goes to work

One UV CMOS chip can grow into very different products. Below are the applications we have already shipped or are developing, each with a recommended configuration so you can quickly judge the fit for your project.

UV camera solution
01 / APPLICATION

UV cameras and phone accessories

Portable UV imaging products for the consumer and personal-care market, available as OEM/ODM. Users can see sunscreen coverage directly and judge whether to re-apply; they can also see dermis-level spots and sun damage invisible to the naked eye, making sun protection visible and measurable. Beyond skincare, the same products inspect jade, antique porcelain, hotel linens, car body repaint and much more.

  • Phone-plug mini cameras or standalone portable UV cameras
  • Live preview of sunscreen coverage and skin condition
  • Low-power design for battery operation and long sessions
  • Inspection of jade, antique porcelain, hotel linens, car repaint and more

UV makeup & makeup-removing mirror solution
02 / APPLICATION

UV makeup mirror / makeup-removing mirror

UV imaging built into makeup mirrors, makeup-removing mirrors and smart bathroom mirrors, available as OEM/ODM. Users confirm at a glance whether makeup is fully removed and sunscreen evenly applied — turning invisible cleanliness into a simple visual check, a genuine differentiator for premium beauty hardware.

  • Compact mirrors, vanity mirrors, smart bathroom mirrors and more
  • UV LED light source combined with the 130-EM module
  • Smooth switching between mirror display and UV view

Trace detection, forensics and lesion visualization
03 / APPLICATION

Trace detection, forensic investigation and lesion visualization

Fingerprints, footprints, bloodstains and some body fluids show high contrast under UV light. The uvlook 230 finds traces quickly in mixed ambient lighting, helping investigators locate evidence and reducing reliance on chemical reagents. UV endoscopes can detect earlier-stage lesions and pre-clinical skin changes, and real-time viewing during skin surgery helps reduce wound size.

  • Rapid on-site search for fingerprints, footprints and bloodstains
  • High-gain dark-field imaging keeps weak signals usable
  • Integrates into inspection lamps, handheld terminals, UV endoscopes or fixed equipment
Recommended: uvlook 230 chipHigh gainLow noise
Non-destructive defect detection
04 / APPLICATION

Non-destructive defect detection

Coating uniformity, adhesive residue, fine cracks, oil films and foreign objects show clear contrast in UV imaging, and the same setup monitors leakage and discharge. Non-contact, non-destructive and capable of running online at high speed — a good fit for production-line QC and automated inspection equipment.

  • Inline inspection of coating and adhesive coverage
  • High-contrast imaging of cracks, oil films and foreign objects
  • Multi-camera synchronization matched to line takt time
Recommended: uvlook 230 chip60fps high speedMulti-camera sync
Sunscreen demonstration kiosk
05 / APPLICATION

Sunscreen demonstration kiosk

UV try-on kiosks and vending machines deployed at beauty counters, stores, trade shows and tourist sites. Customers apply sunscreen on the spot and immediately see the coverage in the UV image, along with dermis-level spots invisible to the naked eye — a visual experience that measurably lifts conversion and store revenue.

  • Counter units, vertical kiosks, tabletop demo stations and vending machines
  • Instant imaging on screen, highly interactive
  • Fast, low-cost deployment for chain stores and pop-up events
Recommended: UV camera moduleUVLOOK industrial cameraPlug and play
Camouflage detection and UV defense optics
06 / APPLICATION

Camouflage detection & defense optics

Camouflaged targets that are hard to distinguish in infrared and visible light show different signatures in the UV band. The uvlook 230 serves as the UV imaging core in UV drone quad-sensor gimbals, UV rifle scopes, UV telescopes, UV helmet eyepieces and UV terminal guidance.

  • UV drone quad-sensor gimbal
  • UV rifle scopes, UV telescopes, UV helmet eyepieces
  • UV terminal guidance and targeting equipment
