Diffuser Plate To Measure Vignetting

The TE255 is designed to determine the shading/vignetting of a digital camera. The transparent chart provides a very neutral transmission. It can be used in combination with an integrating sphere or a light box.

Technical information

Transmission: 84% for 400 – 800 nm

The TE255 is now offered with a matt finish.

An analysis of the images, taken from this test chart, can be done using our iQ-Analyzer analysis software. The analysis will provide the following results:

  • luminance shading (in f-stops, digital values and CIE-L)
  • color shading (CIE-C, G-R and G-B; CIE-E_ab)
  • visual noise

A spectrometer diffuser cap is included with the TE255. The diffuser cap ensures that the measurement by the spectrometer matches to the light emitted from the LE7.

The TE255 is supported by the iQ-Analyzer-X image evaluation software.

Chart sizes

The test charts are available in the sizes listed below. Please note that some charts cannot be manufactured in all sizes due to technical reasons. Please do not hesitate to ask for additional information.

During production, specific regions of test charts are measured to qualify the production process or to create individual reference data accompanying a test chart additionally. Measured regions can be color or gray tones.

The measurement devices are calibrated regularly and proven before use. You can find further information in our reference data accuracy sheet.
