RadOMA CCD Array Spectroradiometers
GS-1290 Spectroradiometers
GS-1290 spectroradiometers provide high accuracy and near perfect repeatability. Multiple models cover UV, Visible and near-IR wavelengths for use in a wide range of testing applications. GS-1290 spectroradiometers are designed for laboratory use and quality control applications.
As the inventors of the first high-performance, computer-controlled spectroradiometers for LED testing, Gamma Scientific has continued to set the standard in spectroradiometer accuracy and reliability. Gamma Scientific spectroradiometers are trusted by the world’s leading organizations to provide accurate measurements.
Gamma Scientific spectroradiometers feature a proprietary optical design and back thinned CCD technology that provides exceptional low-light measurements, superior blue light sensitivity and highly accurate measurements of wavelength, color and power.
Original system calibration is performed in Gamma Scientific’s accredited laboratory using NIST-traceable standards. Gamma Scientific spectroradiometers can be self-calibrated and do not have to be returned to the factory for calibration.
GS-1290-NVIS Dual Stage Cooled Spectroradiometers
RadOMA Dual Stage Cooled CCD Array Spectroradiometers are designed for manufacturers of military displays and other lighted instrumentation used in conjunction with night vision imaging systems (NVIS) that require their products to conform to MIL-STD-3009.
While the MIL-SPEC and competitive systems target a 10:1 signal-to-noise (SNR) measurement ratio, our GS-1290-NVIS spectroradiometers are designed and built to deliver SNR of 100:1 or greater.
This increase in the performance level in the metrology system enables manufacturers to ensure that that their products are fully compliant with the MIL-SPEC, without the downside of unnecessarily failing good product.

As a Uniform Light Source
With over 40 years of experience in designing integrating spheres, Gamma Scientific has the expertise to build custom integrating spheres and sphere systems to meet your testing requirements.
Gamma Scientific integrating spheres are available in a wide range of sizes from 25mm to 3m in diameter. Multi-purpose integrating spheres provide maximum flexibility and are custom built to meet your exact testing requirements. Light measurement spheres for LED testing are optimized for capturing total flux measurements of LED lamps and luminaires.
All spheres come with your choice of coating. Choose from our proprietary polytetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE) or a specially formulated barium-sulfate coating. The PTFE coating gives > 99% reflectance over the UV/VIS/NIR region, and is almost perfectly Lambertian. Our barium-sulfate coating is lightweight and rugged offering a highly diffuse reflectance of 95% over the UV/VIS/NIR region.

We are excited to announce our new light source for camera and image sensor calibration that delivers higher spectral resolution and accuracy, together with a broader color gamut, compared to any previously available halogen or LED-based source.
The new SpectralLED™ tunable light source accomplishes this by combining the output of 30 discrete LEDs, each having a different center wavelength. This enables the SpectralLED™ to be programed on-demand to produce output that closely matches virtually any illuminant source (e.g. blackbody, daylight, fluorescent, LED, CIE illuminants), or the spectrum of any illuminant reflected by a target (such as a Macbeth™ or X RITE™ target). The SpectralLED™ can even be swept through wavelengths to simulate a scanning monochromator, but with no moving parts.

940 LED-1850 Goniometer
The 940 LED-1850 measures samples up to 1850 mm in diameter and 50 kg in weight.
The goniometer is in conformity with CIE, DIN and IES standards.
Gamma Scientific’s 940 LED Series Goniometers are optimized to provide precise measurement of angle dependent spatial radiation properties of large LED luminaires, lamps and modules.
Two models are available for measuring different samples sizes, and both the 940 LED-1200 and LED-1850 are in conformity with CIE, DIN and IES standards.
940 LED Goniometers can be combined with a Gamma Scientific Spectroradiometer or UDT Instruments photometer depending on your specific measurement needs.
Combining the goniometer with a spectroradiometer allows for measurement of luminous flux, color coordinates and CRI. Connecting the goniometer to a photometer provides fast measurements of spatial light distribution.
Original system calibration is performed in Gamma Scientific’s ISO-17025, NVLAP (Lab Code 200823-0) accredited testing and calibration laboratory in San Diego, California.

Our extensive selection of optical position sensors, position amplifiers/indicators and accessories allows our applications engineers to assemble and configure a tremendous variety of position-sensing systems.
To simplify the selection of options available, we have defined a set of standard bundles, which represent a sample of the position-sensing solutions available from UDT Instruments.
Position Sensing Amplifiers
A position-sensing amplifier (PSA) processes the signal produced by a position sensor and produces an output signal correlated with position.
Position Sensing Indicator
A position-sensing indicator (PSI) combines a position-sensing amplifier and display module in a single instrument, in order to provide a direct positional readout.
Position Sensors
The key to understanding optical position sensing systems is to understand the sensors which form the heart of such systems. These fall into two basic categories: Segmented and continuous.
