Advise, Measurement and Calibration Service

With its products and services in the field of optical reference materials and measuring equipment, SphereOptics GmbH has established itself in a high-end market segment with the highest standards of quality and reliability. Optical sensors are being used in an increasingly diverse range of applications and are one of the growth markets due to the synergy effects with Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence, resulting in the potential to become a key technology of the 21st century. With our quality policy, we want to meet the strict requirements of the market and see ourselves as the ideal partner to meet future challenges in the best possible way.

SphereOptics GmbH was founded in 2003 and has been part of the British Pro-lite Group since 2011. We offer our customers specialized measuring equipment and services for the following areas of photonics:

• Manufacturing and calibration of optical materials and reference standards for diffuse transmission and reflection.
• Measurement systems (integrating sphere systems, spectroradiometers and luminance cameras) for light measurement technology and display calibration.
• Field spectrometers, thermal imaging cameras and hyperspectral cameras for remote sensing in the spectral range from 0.250 µm to 15 µm.
• Analysis using Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy.
• Test and measurement service for light measurement technology and display calibration.

We assist our customers in the selection of customized solutions in almost all areas of light measurement technology, remote sensing, spectral imaging and thermal imaging applications. After the delivery of measurement systems, we are available on site as a partner for installation and training.

In our modern optical laboratory, we carry out PTB and NIST traceable calibrations of optical reference materials.

As a further service, we offer workshops with various focal points.

SphereOptics GmbH has been ISO 9001 certified since 2014 and our calibration laboratory has been accredited by DAkkS according to ISO 17025 since 2019.
