Measurement Course on Photometry, Radiometry and Colorimetry

The National Research Council of Canada, periodically offers a training program called: A Measurement Course on Photometry, Radiometry and Colorimetry.

It was last held, April 17-20, 2007

The Summary of Lectures publication from the 2002 course is still available.

This 420 page book contains proceedings of 25 lectures providing up-to-date information on the basic concepts, instrumentation, measurement procedures and standards used in the fields of photometry, radiometry and colorimetry.

The cost of the Summary of Lectures book is $120 (in US dollars for foreign requests). This price includes all taxes and shipping. A CD containing the complete contents of the Summary of Lectures and selected PowerPoint presentations is available at a cost of $90 (in US dollars for foreign requests).

Discounted fees are available for students.

To order a copy of the Summary of Lectures publication or CD contact Joanne.Zwinkels@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca.

General Information

The measurement course on Photometry, Radiometry and Colorimetry is one of an ongoing series of courses presented by the Institute for National Measurement Standards (INMS) concerning the measurement of basic physical quantities, where recent developments in instrumentation, standards and procedures are addressed.

The course is designed for scientists and technicians concerned with accurate and precise measurement of photometric, radiometric and colorimetric properties, whether in research, development, or manufacturing applications.

These issues are of increasing importance in a global marketplace for improving competitiveness, and the interoperability and compatibility of manufactured goods.

This course will also be of particular interest to applications in health and safety and environmental protection, where quality systems, such as ISO/IEC 17025 and the US Pharmacoepia, require traceability of measurements.

The course covers the basic principles of photometric, radiometric and spectrophotometric calibration, uncertainty estimation, applications such as industrial colorimetry and video displays, and special topics such as LED measurement issues, absolute radiometry, gloss and fluorescence measurements.

Location:

National Research Council,Ottawa, Canada

Syllabus:
Principles of photometric, radiometric and spectrophotometric instrumentation, standards and calibration procedures including principles of measurement uncertainty analysis - worked examples
