About Instrument Systems
Instrument Systems is a provider of light measurement and optical metrology with around 40 years of experience in customized measurement solutions. The portfolio comprises ultra-precise CAS-series spectroradiometers (reference systems from UV to IR, including CAS 140D), 2D imaging colorimeters (LumiCam), goniophotometers for LED/SSL, displays and automotive lighting (LEDGON, LGS, DGS, DMS, AMS), integrating spheres and photodiodes, screen photometer systems (STA/AMS), retroreflectometers (RMS) as well as cobot-based test solutions (CoboTop). Application areas include the characterization and production monitoring of consumer electronics, displays, AR/VR near-eye displays, VCSEL and laser systems, automotive exterior and interior lighting, LED/SSL modules, MicroLEDs as well as UV LEDs and IR emitters. The company additionally offers calibrations and calibration standards; the photometric testing laboratory is accredited to DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025:2018. The measurement technology is traceably calibrated and is used worldwide by manufacturers in development and production. The company is based in Munich; an international sales and service structure complements its offering.
