Abstract

The use of a portable surface-brightness photometer of the polarisation type for the measurement of the fraction of the incident light transmitted by an optical instrument or reflected by a mirror or system of mirrors, and for the measurement of the relative brightness of different parts of the field of view of an optical instrument, is described. The instrument employed is a Wanner optical pyrometer (Cambridge and Paul Inst. Co.) with some modifications to render it suitable for such work. An addition to the instrument is described which removes the danger of error due to polarisation of the incident light.
