Sensor Head
AssemblyRotating head carrying the photodiode behind a retractable diffusing lumisphere, switchable between incident and reflected metering. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
Sensor Head parts and their functions
6 top-level parts · 6 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Silicon Photodiode | 1× | Blue-enhanced silicon photodiode whose photocurrent is linear with illuminance across more than seven decades. |
| 2 | Lumisphere | 1× | White translucent hemisphere over the diode that integrates light from the whole hemisphere with the cosine-weighted response a three-dimensional subject sees. |
| 3 | Lumisphere Slide Ring | 1× | Twist ring that retracts the sphere flush for measuring illuminance contrast or flat copy work. |
| 4 | Flat Diffuser Disc | 1× | Alternative flat receptor used when the lumisphere is retracted, reading light arriving on a single plane. |
| 5 | Spectral Correction Filter | 1× | Filter stack over the diode that reshapes silicon’s response toward the eye’s photopic curve so all light sources read consistently. |
| 6 | Head Swivel Mount | 1× | Detented rotating mount, about 270° of travel, that aims the receptor at the camera while the display faces the user. |
