Presentation

Professional license Control and Measurement of Light and Color trains senior technicians and assistant engineers specializing in light and color measurement.

The need for technical expertise in "light and color" is growing in all branches of industry. The advent of portable spectrometers on the market now makes it possible to characterize surfaces in a simple and non-destructive manner in a wide variety of situations, ranging from R&D laboratories to the inspection of finished products on production lines. Spectro-goniometry introduces new characterization methods, for example, for "effect paints" or banknotes. The new light sources available on the market and their proper use must be mastered by the industry.

Professional license Light and Color Control and Measurement offers career opportunities for those with a three-year degree in colorimetry in a wide variety of industrial sectors: automotive, printing, cosmetics, textiles, paint, plastics, packaging, food processing, computer graphics, displays, etc.
