While we haven't personally played with window screen and the radiometer, I do have some information. It all depends on what the window screen is made of believe it or not! If I am remembering correctly, when it comes to aluminum screen, each screen the light passes through reduces the amount of UV by 5 or 10%. It's been so long since I got that information I may be off a little.

This summer (if we make it -LOL and have the time -no LOL) we plan on playing with the radiometer, the natural sun and different windows to see how much it changes depending on what the screen is made of, what kind of glass the window has, etc. We've had plans for some time to further our own testing of UV lights to go with some other tests we have been conducting but with everything that has happened the last few months, it just hasn't happened yet.

Sorry I couldn't be of more exact help.
