MICROGONIOPHOTOMETER By: Sadaf Mackertich Jeffrey Herbert Peter Bowlin Lemuel Lebron
What is a Microgoniophotometer? � � In layman's terms it is an instrument that measures gloss. By reflecting a light source off of a glossy object twice, second time through a polarizing lens, it is possible to measure the intensity of the light.
Project History � � � Gloss is used as a criterion in industries to evaluate the quality of a product Human evaluation = subjective w/ many sources of error Solution-- automated device to remove human element and provide results that are: � Objective � Accurate � Consistent
Project History Con’t � RIT Imaging Science Dept. had experimental technology to obtain quantitative measurements of gloss � Cumbersome; not user-friendly � � � Needed a way to commercialize the process In April 2008, a senior design team started a prototype that was user-friendly, robust, compact, automated, and reliable Device was half-completed… we picked up where they left off
