The LMK 6 is the center piece of the entire LMK product family and optimized for its CMOS image sensor as it is equipped with a full color glass filter. Each camera has a unique filter glass made for it, which ensures a high-quality V(λ)-adaptation.
The LMK 6 is robust in construction, lightweight, and has compact dimensions. So, it can be used in almost every process for a wide range of lighting measurement tasks.
In conjunction with the supplied system and measuring software, LMK6 can be used in areas of application where imaging determination and evaluation of luminances is required.
A large selection of high-quality standard lenses and special imaging systems in combination with an interchangeable lens mount further increase the flexibility of the LMK 6. As a result, the LMK 6 is able to meet a wide range of requirements and combines a wide variety of measuring devices in one system.
LMK 6
The LMK 6 uses imaging Sony CMOS image sensors. Each LMK 6 is equipped with a glass filter matched to its CMOS sensor. This ensures a high-quality photometric adaptation to the V(λ)-function for the imaging measurement of luminance distributions. The LMK 6 video photometer is compact, lightweight and has several possibilities to integrate it into existing applications and processes.
