How to use irradiate in a sentence?

1. Julie Russak:

   When we’re doing it (irradiating) inside human hands, there’s definitely a difference, most of the UV irradiation is absorbed by the top layer of the skin. When you irradiate cells in the petri dish directly, that’s slightly different. You don’t have any protection from the skin, from corneocytes or the top layers. It’s also very direct UVA irradiation.
