Presentation
The professional degree 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 arrival on the market of portable spectrometers now makes it possible to characterize surfaces simply and non-destructively in a wide variety of situations, from the R&D laboratory 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 industry.
The professional degree Control and Measurement of Light and Color offers 3-year post-baccalaureate career prospects in the colorimetry professions in a wide variety of industrial sectors: automotive, printing, cosmetics, textiles, paint, plastics, packaging, food processing, computer graphics, display...
