HAGNER EC1-L SCREEN LUMINANCE AND FILM DENSITY METER

HAGNER EC1-L SCREEN LUMINANCE AND FILM DENSITY METER

The Hagner EC1-L is a compact instrument for measuring the luminance of luminous screens, for
instance of film and slide viewers, X-ray viewers etc., and for easy calculation of film density. It has
both an automatic zeroing and an on/off switch and the only controls needed are four position
range selection switch and a hold button to retain the displayed value.

The opening of the detector, which should be pressed against the screens, has a round aperture with
an area of 100mm2.

The meter is normally calibrated to read from 1 cd/m² to 2,000,000 cd/m² in four measurement
ranges. This calibration is suitable for X-ray viewers. Other ranges, for instance from 0.1 – 200,000
cd/m² can be supplied on request.

The calculation of film density requires also a simple calculator which will give the logarithm to base
10 of a number (LOG10).

Hagner Luminance Meter Model EC1-L

Measurement of Film Density

A. Measure the luminance (L s ) of the blank viewing screen and enter into the calculator.
B. Measure the luminance (L f ) of the film when placed over the screen.

 

If the value of screen luminance is stored in the memory of the calculator, the density at several
different positions on the film can be calculated very easily.
