Founded in 1824, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is the nation’s oldest technological university. Our university promotes excellence across a broad continuum of disciplines—from engineering and biotechnology to athletics and the arts. Rensselaer’s creative spirit also fosters limitless opportunities for diverse disciplines—and people—to connect, intersect, and enrich one another in ways that benefit the larger world.

Radiant Vision Systems is a manufacturer of scientific measurement systems for light and color measurement and quality control of light-emitting devices. World leaders in electronics displays, automotive, aerospace, virtual reality, lighting, and others rely on Radiant Vision Systems for test and measurement solutions that ensure quality, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Based in Redmond, WA, Radiant products include TrueTest™ Automated Visual Inspection Software, ProMetric® Imaging Colorimeters and Photometers for light and color measurement, optical components for unique applications like view angle and near-infrared testing, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) display measurement, and the most extensive machine vision software tool library for production-level assembly and surface inspection. Calibrated to replicate human photopic response to brightness and color, Radiant ProMetric Imaging Colorimeters and Photometers are meticulously tested, scientific-grade camera systems designed to make precise, spatial measurements of luminance and chromaticity. These instruments gather objective, quantifiable data on values of light, such as brightness, contrast, color, uniformity, intensity, and more. Applying these data in the design and qualification of light-emitting devices, manufacturers can clearly communicate quality parameters, and set tolerances for suppliers and prove quality to their customers. ProMetric systems include CIE-matched color filters to simulate human eye response to each wavelength of color, ensuring that products meet a level of quality that accurately reflects the human visual experience. Radiant Vision Systems is a Konica Minolta Company.
