  • Evaluate compatibility with existing optical measurement equipment.
  • Assess the thermal stability if used in varying environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an integrating sphere used for?
An integrating sphere is used to measure the optical properties of light, such as total light flux, by distributing light uniformly over its surface.
How does an integrating sphere improve measurement accuracy?
It improves accuracy by eliminating directional biases in light distribution, facilitating even light scattering for consistent readings.
What are common applications for integrating spheres?
They are commonly used in applications like LED testing, light intensity measurement, and color analysis.
What factors should be considered when purchasing an integrating sphere?
Consider sphere size, coating material, port size, and compatibility with detection instruments.
