Our story

Two Global Leaders.

One Complete Solution.

Konica Minolta Sensing Americas provides
advanced optical technology that precisely
measures the elements of color and light. Their
products have become a staple in research and
manufacturing environments, helping organizations
to meet product quality and operational goals with
less waste, time, and effort. This commitment
to creating value for customers is the core
principle behind the Konica Minolta brand, and
has led them to develop the world’s first portable
spectrophotometer and the first light meter used on
board a spacecraft (Apollo 8). It’s also the driving
force behind the high level of quality and precision
built into each of their products. These are some of
the reasons why Konica Minolta is regarded as the
technological leader in color and light measurement
solutions today.

Based in Germany, Instrument Systems develops
and produces high-quality optical test and
measurement instruments for a broad spectrum
of applications. Their extensive product range
includes spectrometers, imaging photometers
and colorimeters, goniophotometers, integrating
spheres, and turnkey system solutions.
Instrument Systems is dedicated to working with
standardization committees and associations
such as ICDM and CIE. They also cooperate with
leading national metrology institutes.

Now, these two experts have combined
their knowledge and tools together to offer
the complete solution for the most accurate
measurement of light and color available in the
market today.

MAS 40: A High-Quality
Spectrometer Worth the Money

Have you been looking for a value-for-money spectrometer that
delivers quality and precision? Then the MAS 40 Mini-Array
Spectrometer is just what you need.

Instrument Systems has drawn on the experience gained in industrial
quality control to develop an instrument that meets your demanding
requirements, yet won’t break your budget.

Like all spectrometers from Instrument Systems, optical fiber
connectivity provides access to all the measurement adapter
accessories. This capability supports for a wide range of applications.
Flexibility of this nature means that the MAS 40 is also ideal as a
cost-effective instrument for research and development work.

USB Interface: Plug and Go

Install the software, connect up the USB cable and start taking
measurements. That’s how quick it is to get up and running –
whether on a desktop or a notebook. The benefit: you can start
working productively straight away.

MAS 40 Software: Seamless
Integration in your Application

Instrument Systems is a partner who understands what you need
for optical metrology. In addition, DLLs and LabVIEW drivers permit
efficient integration within existing customer applications. These
drivers are also compatible with the entire Instrument Systems
spectrometer family.

The Setup

The MAS 40 includes the complete spectrometer with data
acquisition electronics and a USB port in a convenient package.
The optical input is compatible with all PLG fiber adapters from
Instrument Systems.

For the adjustment of the sensitivity range according to the
desired application, alternative density filters of optical density
1 and 2 are available.

MAS 40: Compact, Precise, Complete

A number of manufacturers produce miniature spectrometers that
boast compact design and low price. The snag is that they just aren’t
up to the complete application support required for the challenges of
photometry, colorimetry and high-quality spectral analysis.

The MAS 40 is manufactured to the exacting quality standards
of Instrument Systems. It is also calibrated with the measurement
adapter of choice prior to shipment. The calibration procedure uses
standards directly traceable to PTB or NIST.

All Instrument Systems measurement adapters can be linked up
to the spectrometer by optical fiber. This permits a broad field
of applications:

LED measurement

Display measurement

General spectroradiometry

Spectrophotometry

Colorimetry
