I just checked out a Chroma green fluorescent plastic slide - it seemed to fluoresce pretty well with both uv and blue LEDs so surely that should work well enough. Doesn't have the ultra-long lifetime problem of uranyl glass. Reproducible, robust and best of all free!

After searching for and calling various commercial concerns, I managed to get a couple of pieces from scrap that the glassblowers in the Chemistry Dept. had stashed for special use. Any idea on current sources of this material?
Other than an antique store (--uranium glass was used for its yellow or
green color in years past), no. We have a uranium glass slide in our
facility but I hadn't thought about current availability--oops.
Perhaps Daniel should go with Julio's suggestions!
