	I am looking for a photoconductive cell which will unable be
to detect UV radiation, 200-400 nm.  Cost needs to be under $10, around
1 M "on", 50 M "off", peak spectral response in the range specified.
If there are such devices made can someone tell me the part # and
distributor.  If no such devices exist, I will simply use a UV filter in front
of a photoconductive cell.  Could someone suggest the best photoconductive 
cell that can be used with the filter, ie: best spectral response.  I believe
that CdS cells can accomplish this task but I am unable to find a distributor
who sells these devices.  The product has been discontinued by a number of 
suppliers.

I need this device by Sunday, April 11.  

Thanx Walter A. Wohlmuth
