Optical Properties Calibration & Repair
Available Onsite & Offsite
Absorption, refraction, and reflection are all examples of optical properties. They describe how a material interacts with light, providing valuable information about its composition, structure, and electronic characteristics.
Optical measuring instruments such as gloss meters and haze meters are integral to a variety of high-precision industries for measuring a material’s optical properties.
Car manufacturer needing your optical micrometers calibrated for quality control of your engine pistons? Rely on opacity meters to determine the coverage and uniformity of your paint applications? You’ve come to the right place as our experienced engineers can calibrate a wide test instruments measuring optical properties.
All optical calibrations carried out by AML Instruments are traceable to national standards, with both onsite and offsite options available.
