Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

4  Measurands
4.1  General
Since various light sources such as halogen lamps, tungsten lamps, LEDs, and OLEDs are used for
bright field microscopy, it is essential to understand the difference in colour properties due to the light
sources. This applies for different applications and various types of instruments.
4.2  Spectral measurement
The spectral radiant flux (W) shall be measured by placing an instrument equipped with an integrating
sphere and an optical spectrometer function in an image plane or in an intermediate image plane. The
measurements shall be performed in the measurement spectral range from 380 nm to 780 nm with
5 nm intervals or less.
