S400 flexOPM Benchtop System
The S400 Optical Meter is Gamma Scientific's most popular benchtop meter. Ideal for photometric, radiometric, laser power, and fiber optic measurements, its optional configurations include up to 4 individually calibrated sensor heads.

This system features a microprocessor controlled architecture with USB, RS-232, RS-485 and IEEE-488.2 interfaces.

Model 471 Handheld System
The Model 471 handheld can be supplied as either a photometer or radiometer. It has been designed to be used for measurements in the laboratory or field and features high-accuracy, wide dynamic range, plus a high-speed update rate and large calibration capacity.

All calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST).

uLUM-MF - Multi-function Photometer System
The uLUM-MF is a powerful and flexible system for research labs, metrology centres, and other laboratories that must provide a diverse range of photometric measurements. It combines a four-channel benchtop optometer with four different types of photometric sensors to provide measurement capability in each of the following fundamental measurement geometries: Luminous Flux (lumens); Illuminance (lux); Luminous Intensity (candela); Luminance (nit; cd/m2).

uRAD-E - Irradiance Meter
This irradiance meter system combines a broadband silicon sensor with a benchtop optometer to provide simple and accurate measurement of irradiance. The system’s calibration is programmed into the benchtop optometer. Measurement results are displayed by the optometer in units of Watts per square meter (W/m2), and digital data can be acquired directly via PC.

uNIT-LL - Handheld Luminance Meter
The uNIT-LL handheld combines a photopic sensor with a fixed-focus lens (LumiLens™) to provide non-contact measurement of an area on the display surface. Spot size is dependent working distance, which ranges from 17 mm to infinity. This system is suitable for Luminance, Contrast Ratio, and Gamma (Grey Scale/EOTF) tests and measurements.

uRAD-LL - Handheld Radiance Meter
This handheld radiance meter combines a filtered silicon sensor with a fixed-focus lens to provide non-contact radiance measurement of an area on the surface of an extended source. Spot size is dependent the working distance, which ranges from 17 mm to infinity.

uLux - Illuminance Meter
The uLux meter uses a high-performance photopic sensor with an optical diffuser to provide simple and accurate measurements of illuminance in units of lux or lumens per square metre. The diffuser provides a cosine correction to make the sensor’s illuminance response nearly independent of the direction of incidence.

TIA-LUX - Illuminance Meter Testing Sytem
Highly accurate and stable illuminance measurements – even at very low light levels - can be made using tihs Gamma Scientific combination of a high-quality photopic sensor with a thermo-electric stabilisation system and a state of the art transimpedance amplifier - see below. A number of metrology institutes currently use the TIA-LUX as a physical standard.

Photodetectors

UDT Instruments offers a wide range of NIST-traceable radiometric sensors and photometric sensors for illuminance or irradiance measurements.

The product line features integral, proprietary photometric filters that deliver CIE V(?) Function f1’ performance better than 1%, to precisely match the response of the human eye.

The range includes standard, miniature, and low-profile units, sensor heads for measuring diffuse light, thermoelectrically cooled devices, and fixed field-of-view solutions.

The various sensor configurations allow for measurement of luminous flux, illuminance, luminous intensity and luminance in cd/m² (nit), lumens, lux, candelas (cd) and foot-lamberts.
