Labsphere's Integrating Sphere Accessories give users the ability to customize integrating spheres and systems to their specific measurement requirements. The interchangeable accessories are easily attached to port frames and matched to the integrating sphere wall reflectance value to ensure measurement accuracy.

Accessories allow you to create a uniform source or light measurement application with Labsphere's General Purpose Integrating Spheres, or modify Labsphere's Light Measurement and Uniform Source Systems to change or enhance functionality.

The sturdy port frame design on Labsphere's integrating spheres allows users to quickly mount accessories to the integrating sphere with the quick twist of a set screw.

Labsphere's dedicated calibration lab provides a variety of NIST-traceable calibration options for systems that include accessories for specific application requirements.

The accessories are created in an ISO-9001: 2000 registered environment. Labsphere's proven highly reflective diffuse materials and coatings, Spectralon®, Spectraflect®, and Infragold®, are used to ensure that system precision is maintained. Our qualified engineering and support staff are on hand to help you select the accessories that are right for your application.

Cosine Diffuser Assemblies
The Cosine Diffuser Assemblies obtain a uniform view that resembles a near cosine collection. The diffuser consists of an opal glass diffuser in a metal holder which mounts onto the port frame. Light transmitted by the diffuser is scattered in a near-Lambertian distribution; i.e., the angular distribution of transmitted light approximates a cosine distribution.

Cone Baffle Assembly
The Cone Baffle Assembly diffuses light entering into the integrating sphere from an external source or shields the detector from collecting direct radiation from a light source. The baffle mounts onto a 1-inch diameter port frame and is designed to be positioned at the port opposite the integrating sphere device (e.g. light source or detector) to prevent the direct exchange of radiation between the two attachments. The cone baffle is tapped for affixing larger baffles.

Port Adaptors
Port Adaptors mount onto the port frame to provide a mechanical interface between the sphere and another system component, either directly, or via gender change adaptors. Please refer to the Port Adaptor Selection Chart to find the right adaptor for your application.

Port Plugs
Port Plugs mount onto a port frame to cap unused ports to eliminate light from escaping. Port plugs are matched to the reflectance of the sphere wall (-SF, -SL, or -IG), or to the open port itself (-FB) to maintain the system's calibration. Please refer to the Port Plug Selection Chart to find the right port plug for your application.

Port Frame Reducers
Port Frame Reducers mount onto the port frame to change the port frame to a smaller diameter. This allows accessories designed for smaller port sizes to be used with larger port frames. Please refer to the Port Frame Reducers Selection Chart to find the right frame reducer for your application.

Port Reducers
A Port Reducer mounts onto a port frame to aperture down the diameter of the port. Please refer to the Port Reducers Selection Chart to find the right reducer for your application.
