  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012713",
  "term": "Wood lamp",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A source of long-wave ultraviolet radiation, often produced by a mercury-vapor lamp equipped with a special filter made of nickel-oxide-doped glass. This filter, known as Wood's glass, blocks most visible light while transmitting a band of UV light with a peak wavelength around 365 nanometers. It is used in photochemistry and to observe fluorescence in materials for analytical or diagnostic purposes.",
