Labsphere's general purpose Modular Integrating Spheres consist of 24 integrating sphere designs, ranging from 1 to 6 inches in diameter. Designed to provide greater configuration flexibility, the integrating spheres include a robust port frame design and are compatible with Labsphere's integrating sphere attachments and accessories.

Each integrating sphere is fabricated using one of three types of Labsphere's diffuse reflectance material: Spectralon®, Spectraflect®, or Infragold®.

Labsphere's general purpose Modular Integrating Spheres are available with either three or four ports. The three-port (3P) series integrating spheres have ports oriented along three orthogonal axes: two ports on the equator of the sphere at 0° and 90°, plus a port located at the top or north pole of the sphere.

The four-port (4P) integrating spheres have an additional port located opposite the 0° port. All spheres include a baffle between the 90° and 0° ports, which prevent direct exchange of radiation between them.

Each port is equipped with a port frame designed to accept a variety of illuminator or detector assemblies, port reducers, or port plugs. Specific integrating sphere diameters and port sizes are summarized in the table below.

Each integrating sphere is fitted with a boss mount, compatible with a standard size threaded mounting post or fastener.

A selection of optional attachments is available to adapt an integrating sphere to a particular application. Most applications will require some of the following: port frame reducers, port reducers, and port plugs. Other available attachments include an adjustable base assembly, port adaptors, light traps, laser targets, and holders for reflectance/transmittance samples, filters, and detectors.
