Instrument Systems (IS), a prominent German company within the Konica Minolta Group, has established itself as a leader in the field of light measurement since 1986. Their core focus lies in developing, manufacturing, and marketing solutions specifically for radiometry and photometry.
What is Radiometry and Photometry?
Radiometry: This scientific discipline deals with the measurement and characterization of electromagnetic radiation across the entire spectrum, encompassing both visible and invisible wavelengths.
Photometry: This subfield of radiometry focuses specifically on the measurement of light as perceived by the human eye. It emphasizes quantities like illuminance (lux) and luminance (candela per square meter) relevant to human vision.
Instrument Systems’ Expertise:
IS excels in providing instruments and solutions for both these areas:
Spectroradiometry: They offer a range of high-performance spectrometers that capture the complete light spectrum of a source, enabling detailed analysis of its properties across all wavelengths.
Photometry: Their product line includes various photometers specifically designed to measure light within the visible spectrum, catering to applications concerned with human perception.
Products Offered by Instrument Systems:
Scanning and Array Spectrometers: These versatile instruments capture the entire light spectrum of a source, allowing for comprehensive analysis of its radiometric properties.
Integrating Spheres: These integrating spheres are used in conjunction with spectrometers to measure the total radiant power emitted by a source.
High-Precision Light Meters: IS offers photometers designed for accurate measurement of illuminance, luminance, and other photometric quantities.
Goniophotometers: These specialized instruments measure the light distribution of a source from various angles, crucial for characterizing LEDs, headlights, and other lighting applications.
Applications of IS Products:
Research and development of new light sources such as LEDs and lasers.
Quality control in the manufacturing of LEDs, displays, and other lighting products.
Lighting design and characterization for optimal illumination in various environments.
Scientific research requiring precise measurement of light and radiation across the spectrum.
LED OR SSL CHARACTERIZATION
Instrument Systems goniophotometers are built and designed as a Type C with a horizontal alignment of the optical axis (turning luminaire configuration). Combined with a spectroradiometer , they are able to determine not only photometric data but also spectral quantities, such as color coordinates, color temperature, and even color rendering index as a function of angle
LUMINOUS FLUX MEASUREMENT
Determining total radiant power or luminous flux of light sources using integrating spheres is one of the most important tests in light measurement. The inner surface of the integrating sphere is coated with a diffusely reflecting material which guarantees complete integration and homogenization of the emitted radiation.
CCD ARRAY SPECTROMETERS
Variant types of spectrometer is designed to analyze the spectral characteristics of light radiation. Instrument Systems spectrometers or spectroradiometers are widely used in Research and Development, production line, quality control and etc.
