Uniformity measurements indicate an imaging system’s tendency to become darker away from the centre of the image. This is due to the radial nature of the lens which collects more light in the centre. It can be particularly strong with wide angle lenses. Testing for uniformity requires a flat-field test, or uniform light source.
In order to minimise cosine falloff in imaging systems with wider field of view lenses, it is important to have a light source that produces uniform illumination across the entire field of view.
We also provide uniform reflectance targets for use with external light sources.

The Imatest LED Lightbox is a highly uniform light source with 95% uniformity, designed for dynamic range and ultra-high resolution testing. Choose from a continuous range of light levels between 30 to 10,000 lux.
The Imatest LED Lightbox produces uniform light with excellent spectral characteristics that can be adjusted over a wide range of brightness for illuminating transparency test charts. The uniformity, adjustability, and high colour quality make it superior lighting to other LED or fluorescent systems we’ve seen.
