Instrument Systems (IS) is a leading German company that develops, manufactures, and markets solutions specifically for light measurement. They have been in operation since 1986 and are a subsidiary of the Konica Minolta Group.

Their primary focus lies in instruments for light measurement applications, with a strong emphasis on:

  • LED and Display Measurement: They provide equipment for measuring luminance, flux, intensity, illuminance, and chromaticity of LEDs, lamps, and displays throughout the development and production stages.
  • Spectroradiometry and Photometry: Their product line includes various spectrometers and photometers for comprehensive spectral analysis of light sources.

Products Offered by Instrument Systems:

  • Scanning and Array Spectrometers: These instruments capture the entire light spectrum of a source at once, allowing for detailed analysis of its spectral properties.
  • Imaging Photometers and Colorimeters: These instruments capture a spatial image while simultaneously measuring color properties at each pixel, ideal for analyzing color variations across a surface.
  • Goniophotometers: These instruments measure the light distribution of a source from different angles, crucial for characterizing LEDs, headlights, and other light sources.
  • Software: IS offers dedicated software for controlling their instruments, analyzing data, and generating reports.

Applications of Instrument Systems Products:

  • Quality control in LED and display manufacturing
  • Research and development of new light sources
  • Lighting design and characterization
  • Luminance and color uniformity measurement in display manufacturing
