What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert luminance values from millilambert, a non-SI unit commonly used in cinematography and imaging, to stilb, a CGS photometric unit useful for optical research and legacy data interpretation.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value in millilambert (mL) you wish to convert.
- Select millilambert as the starting unit and stilb as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent luminance in stilb (sb).
Key Features
- Converts luminance units between millilambert and stilb accurately.
- Supports legacy and historical photometric data interpretation.
- Easy to use for converting units in cinematography, imaging labs, and broadcast engineering.
Examples
- 5 millilambert equals 0.0015915495 stilb (5 × 0.0003183099).
- 10 millilambert equals 0.003183099 stilb (10 × 0.0003183099).
Common Use Cases
- Translating luminance values from obsolete millilambert units to stilb for analysis or calibration.
- Interpreting legacy photometric data in cinematography and broadcast engineering.
- Comparing surface brightness measurements in optical research from historical publications.
Tips & Best Practices
- Verify that your measurements are indeed in millilambert before converting.
- Use this tool to update legacy luminance data to compatible units for modern analysis.
- Be cautious of precision loss when working with very large or very small luminance values.
Limitations
- Millilambert and stilb are considered largely obsolete and non-SI units.
- Conversion may not be compatible with contemporary measurement standards.
- Precision issues can arise due to the significant scale difference between these units.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a millilambert in terms of modern units?
- A millilambert is a non-SI unit of luminance equal to one thousandth of a lambert, approximately 3.183 candela per square metre.
- Why convert millilambert to stilb?
- Converting helps translate legacy luminance data from one historical CGS-based unit to another for better interpretation in optical research and legacy data analysis.
- Are millilambert and stilb used in modern measurements?
- Both units are largely obsolete and not part of the SI system, so they are uncommon in modern instruments and standards.
Key Terminology
- Millilambert (mL)
- A non-SI luminance unit equal to one thousandth of a lambert, signifying luminous intensity per unit area and solid angle.
- Stilb (sb)
- A CGS photometric luminance unit equal to ten thousand candela per square metre, used in legacy optical research.
- Luminance
- The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a specified direction.
