The photometry and radiometry team at MSL offer a range of calibration and testing services covering the measurement of sources, detectors and materials. We can make broadband or spectral measurements in the UV, visible and NIR spectral ranges. Details can be found in the tables below.

Our Accredited Calibration Services:

Our typical turn-around time 10-20 working days. Please contact us to book your items in for calibration.

Full IANZ scope is available here(external link).

Fees effective from 17 September 2024.
