EURAMET recently issued a new guide for the calibration of autocollimators that was prepared by a team led by a researcher from TÜBİTAK UME.
“Calibration of Autocollimators”, EURAMET Calibration Guide No. 22, was a deliverable of the European Metrology Research Programme funded joint research project entitled Angle Metrology (SIB58 Angle) that was coordinated by Dr. Tanfer Yandayan of TÜBİTAK UME and joined by 16 partner institutions.
The calibration guide was prepared by drawing on the research performed within the SIB58 Angles project on high accuracy, nanoradian-scale angle measurements as well as previous studies performed by TÜBİTAK UME and partner institutes and addresses the needs of a wide array of metrology stakeholders, from secondary level laboratories to scientific laboratories engaged in cutting edge research.
The subject of the calibration guide, autocollimators, have a range of applications in high-end scientific research and the aerospace and defense industries, in addition to their uses for calibration of angle standards and devices and angular measurements and precise adjustment of various optical components used in industry.
With the publication of this calibration guide, TÜBİTAK UME is pleased to have achieved another milestone in its efforts to become a source of high-end knowledge and expertise in the world of metrology.
