Imatest Modular Test Stand
The Imatest Modular Test Stand is an easy-to-use platform for image quality testing that is purpose-built for a professional lab setting.
Add an Imatest Light Panel or the Reflective Lighting Module with Kino Flo LED Lights for a system that needs only a target and your camera.
Or add our Wide Field of View Module to enable fast and efficient testing of WFOV systems.
See MTS info sheet.
The Imatest Modular Test Stand base module is manually adjustable and features a rail system for easy positioning, a tripod head or gimbal head for mounting of device, and a chart holder that accommodates a variety of charts. The Modular Test Stand facilitates precise setup and repeatability in your test lab. (Light source and test charts sold separately.)

Imatest MTS Wide Field of View Module
Details
The Imatest Reflective Wide Field of View Module is an add-on to our Modular Test Stand base. It adds mounting points for 4 reflective SFRreg targets to the outside of the base, as well as a sliding light post for mounting KinoFlo LED lights in a way that allows for sufficiently uniform illumination of all 5 test charts. Imatest SFRreg targets can be affixed in a polar relationship to the camera rail and adjusted in distance, angle, and height. The arms rest on lockable casters to move with the camera rail. Mounting points for Isolight Pucks allow for easy light measurements to ensure proper uniformity. This module includes one Isolight Puck with the option to add four additional Pucks. This system allows you to analyze captured images in Imatest software to better characterize wide field of view cameras.
- Allows for WFOV testing for cameras with diagonal FOVs between 140º – 200º
- Test distances between 0.5m – 1.5m
- Polar coordinate system
- Efficient and easy adjustments
- Easy uniformity measurements
- Modular Test Stand (MTS) Base module, Kino Flo Lights and Test Charts are sold separately.
