METS Collimator (955KB)

The METS, incorporating CI Systems’ reflective optics, extended area blackbody and a motorized target wheel, provides fast, reliable testing producing repeatable, objective results.

As a modular system, the METS easily be modified for a range of electro-optical testing applications, including testing of:

The METS can be operated on the production floor, in the laboratory, and in the depot, and can be used in conjunction with CI Systems’ CTE automatic electro-optical test software.
