Densitometers

Densitometers are calibrated against a traceable Kodak step tablet which conforms to the American National Standards Diffuse Transmission Density - ANSI PH2.19-1986 and ISO 5/2-1985. If your own reference step wedge is included, we also measure and state the diffuse density measurements for this. Densitometers can be adjusted to conform to manufacturer's specification.

Sensitometers

Sensitometers - sensitometric strips are produced with typical radiographic film and manual processing under controlled conditions. The resulting film densities are measured on a traceably calibrated transmission densitometer (Type DT1405 with 3 mm aperture). A consistency check to confirm the strips are reproducible is also carried out.

Photometers

Photometers (luminance meters and illuminance, or Lux meters) are used as an essential part of image display screen quality assurance, e.g. to check conformance with the DICOM standard (GSDF). The photometers can be calibrated to a wide range of values, traceable to national standards. Luminance values offered are 1-1,600 cd - m^-2 and illuminance values from 2–17,000 lux both maintaining a colour temperature as close as possible to 2856K.
