Photometers & Colorimeters
Instrument Systems Optische Messtechnik GmbH
A photometer is used to measure the photometric quantities of illuminance (lx), luminous intensity (cd), luminous flux (lm), and luminance (cd/m²). The integral method and the fast response time of silicon photodiodes means that photometers can achieve an outstanding measuring speed. They are therefore ideal for performing fast goniophotometric measurements. We take great care in the development and production of photometer heads and use innovative amplifier technologies.

Adjustable Range Reflective Photoelectric Sensor
EQ-30
Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America
The compact EQ-30 Adjustable Range Reflective Photoelectric Sensor is only 68 x 20 x 40mm but delivers amazing performance. Normal Reflective Type Sensors operate by sensing the variation in the amount of incident beam. However, the Adjustable Range Reflective Sensing Type Sensors, incorporate a 2-segment photodiode to sense variation in the incident beam angle. Thus, the output is activated according to the distance of the object from the Sensor. This system helps the EQ-30 Series to be unaffected by object color or a background, enabling stable sensing. The robust housing offers IP67 protection allowing the EQ-30 Sensor to be used in the most demanding industrial environments.

Low Input Bias Current Amplifiers (<100 pA)
Low input bias current op amps are required whenever the difference of currents or voltage is small and needs to be measured accurately. These op amps are used so that the signal is not loaded down by the input of the op amps. Low input bias current op amps are critical for interfacing sensors in applications from photodiodes, pH meters, or other electrometer related functions to downstream electronics. Analog Devices has many precision op amps that fit the definition and range of these applications.
