Our story

Two Global Leaders. One Complete Solution. Konica Minolta Sensing Americas provides advanced optical technology that precisely measures the elements of color and light. Their products have become a staple in research and manufacturing environments, helping organizations to meet product quality and operational goals with less waste, time, and effort. This commitment to creating value for customers is the core principle behind the Konica Minolta brand, and has led them to develop the world’s first portable spectrophotometer and the first light meter used on board a spacecraft (Apollo 8). It’s also the driving force behind the high level of quality and precision built into each of their products. These are some of the reasons why Konica Minolta is regarded as the technological leader in color and light measurement solutions today.

Based in Germany, Instrument Systems develops and produces high-quality optical test and measurement instruments for a broad spectrum of applications. Their extensive product range includes spectrometers, imaging photometers and colorimeters, goniophotometers, integrating spheres, and turnkey system solutions. Instrument Systems is dedicated to working with standardization committees and associations such as ICDM and CIE. They also cooperate with leading national metrology institutes. Now, these two experts have combined their knowledge and tools together to offer the complete solution for the most accurate measurement of light and color available in the market today.

We bring quality to light.

Measurement of emissive, transmissive, reflective and transflective displays up to 72" diagonal size 6 motorized axes for directional and lateral scanning, adjustment of height and light source inclination Comprising electrical driving, illumination, computer and software Fast photometer for analysis of temporal luminance variations DMSControl and ViPer software for automated measurement sequences and evaluation

The goniometer system DMS 903 is ideal for photometric and colorimetric analysis of emissive, transmissive, reflective, and transflective displays and modules up to a size of 72" diagonal. The turnkey solution is based on a fully motorized 6-axis goniometer for determining luminance, contrast, and color properties at different viewing angles and variable electrical driving. The measurement system is perfectly suitable for all applications in research and development, as well as quality control. The comprehensive range of illumination devices and temperature-control chambers makes the DMS 903 an ideal system for determining the characteristics of displays under various environmental and illumination conditions.
