Who we are?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rura Optical Systems is a Dutch company based in Montfort, The Netherlands. We specialize in advanced optical measurement solutions for coated glass and films, supporting customers from R&D and coating development through production quality control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our measurement systems are designed for a wide range of sample sizes \u2014 from approximately 80 \u00d7 80 mm to large glass panels \u2014 and can be tailored to specific accuracy, sample handling and process requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rura Optical Systems develops two complementary optical measurement platforms: a table-top spectrophotometer for simultaneous Transmission (T) and Reflection (R) measurements, and a portable reflectance system for First-Surface Reflection or Total Reflection. Optical modelling can be added for coating analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
