Measurement of Optical Properties

Instruments for measuring the optical properties of materials

Measuring optical properties yields important information about the composition of a material. Pro-Lite provides optical instrumentation that is used to measure scatter, reflectance & transmittance and sunscreen ultraviolet transmittance (SPF sun protection factor & UVA ratio).

Certified standards of reflectance are used to calibrate spectrophotometers, reflectometers and scatterometers. For details on the standards and targets that Pro-Lite supplies, please click here.

We also offer modular equipment for measuring reflectance and transmittance based upon Ocean Optics spectrometers. For details, please click here.

Radiant Imaging IS-SA Imaging Sphere BRDF Scatterometer 

Imaging Sphere IS-SA Scatterometer

The Imaging Sphere IS-SA from Radiant Imaging is an innovative, ultrafast goniometer for instananeous BRDF & BTDF scatter and appearance measurements. With the Imaging Sphere, you measure the scatter distribution for all angles of reflection or transmission for one angle of illumination at a time. The Imaging Sphere also functions as a goniophotometer (see: goniophotometers).
