Model 1120

Model 1120 DiagramSince the Model 1120 provides a direct view of the measurement field, it is ideal for CRT measurements of a single pixel, small pixel cluster, or narrow scan line. But it also enables users to measure distant objects, small light sources, or to survey the distribution of light across luminous surfaces.

This accessory operates like a camera viewing system, since it splits the measurement and viewing fields. When attached to the front of the 1120, a camera lens or microscope objective focuses an object at the center of the internal 45° mirror. The user sees the object as an upright image in the eyepiece. A small hole in the center of the mirror allows a portion of the image to pass through. Then, it is imaged by a relay lens onto the 211 sensor. To the user, the hole appears as a black spot on the object, corresponding to the actual area measured.

The Model 1120's field-of-view is established by the focal length of the lens affixed to it. Adapters are available to accept camera lenses or microscope objectives, converting the 1120 into a microphotometer or a telephotometer. Since UDT Instruments offers a variety of lens accessories, a system can be constructed to fit most any working-distance versus measurement-field-size requirement.

To ensure accuracy, the Model 1120 must be calibrated with each lens/aperture with which it is used. These calibrations are expressed in footlamberts or cd/m².
