-UV pass filters could transmit the ultraviolet, and absorb the visible and part infrared light. The filters are often used in the instrument of detect ultraviolet and gel system.
UV-cut filters are long pass filters that block the UV wavelength range and transmit the visible. They are used in front of CCD or CMOS lens to protect the sensor from UV light, in absence of internal protection in the camera. In addition, they are often used to protect expensive lens from potential damage.
