You need _quartz_ glass to pass all UV. Apart from this issue, all the
mechanical needs are satisfied by taking an old scanner and removing
the innards; put the UV tubes and reflector inside where the scan
mechanism used to go, and put your PCB on the glass, then close the
lid.

Are scanner glasses usually quartz glass? I have an old scanner here now....
