TEL309

The TEL309 is a computer-controlled direct-view telescope, which has been designed to meet with the requirements of the EN62471:2008/ IEC62471:2006 standards for the measurement of the photobiological safety of lamps. The design incorporates stepping-motor driven focussing and aperture selection, which permits the measurement of radiance over defined fields of view relevant to these standards.
A USB camera-based viewer shows the user the measurement scene; the area of measurement is coupled to any Bentham monochromator via a quartz fibre bundle.
The telescope images the measurement scene onto the aperture plane, where only the selected portion of the scene is transmitted through an aperture for measurement. The corresponding field of view in radians is the ratio of the aperture diameter, d, to the distance between lens and aperture, H.
According to EN62471\ IEC62471, the source should be measured, depending upon application, at either 200mm, or at a distance at which the source produces an illuminance of 500lux, (but ≥200mm). In practice the measurement distance may be many meters.
As the entrance lens position is adjusted to obtain a focussed image, the image distance changes, and, for a given aperture diameter, so therefore does the field of view.
The TEL309 consists of a stepping-motor driven periscope to change the image distance of the lens, and a stepping-motor driven aperture wheel which automatically selects the required aperture for a given field of view, to within 1%.
Where the irradiance profile at the entrance lens may be non-uniform, a 7mm aperture stop is provided to be mounted to the lens in use to simulate the pupil.
