Abstract
Disclosed are a microbe inactivation processing device that can perform inactivation processing of microbes, while damage to human body cells is prevented or inhibited, with an efficient use of light emitted from a light source and the obtainment of a large effective irradiation area. Also provided are a cell activation processing device that can reliably activate target cells with high efficiency. The microbe inactivation processing device includes: a light source configured to emit light having a wavelength within a wavelength range of 190 nm to 237 nm; a power supply unit configured to supply electric power to the light source; a control unit configured to control the power supply unit; and an optical filter. The microbe inactivation processing device is configured to perform inactivation processing of a target microbe by applying the light emitted from the light source through the optical filter. When the light emitted from the light source is incident at an incident angle of 0°, the optical filter transmits at least a part of ultraviolet light having a wavelength within a range of not lower than 190 nm and not more than 230 nm, and transmits at least a part of ultraviolet light having a wavelength within a range of more than 230 nm and not more than 237 nm, and the optical filter blocks transmission of ultraviolet light having a wavelength out of a wavelength range of not lower than 190 nm and not more than 237 nm.
