Standard Bundles vs. Components:

UDT Instruments offers integrating-sphere-based solutions to meet a wide range of photometric and radiometric testing needs. Our extensive selection of optical sensors, optometers, and accessories, supported by state-of-the-art calibration facilities, allows our applications engineers to assemble and configure a tremendous variety of measurement systems. To simplify the selection of available options, we have defined a set of standard bundles, which represent the range of solutions available from UDTi.

Integrating SphereThe Sphere Selection Chart below offers an overview of the standard integrating sphere components used to assemble these systems, and a preliminary guide to combining these spheres with sensors and other components to create a complete, application-specific measurement system. Our engineering staff stands ready to assist you in configuring such a system, or if necessary, to design and build a custom system to meet your unique requirements.

The attached System Selection Chart  offers a guide to our standard, preconfigured sphere systems.

Using the Sphere Selection Chart:

The chart below presents a brief description of each standard integrating sphere.  A checklist of capabilities, key specifications, and compatible sensors is presented in order to distinguish among sphere options.  For our most popular spheres, model names are linked to more detailed datasheets.
