Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 22, the IO collaboration will be broadcast on Órbita Laika
- The program will deal with counterfeiting, and will be broadcast on October 22 at 10 p.m. on channel 2.
- The Optical Radiation Measurements group has brought a diffuse reflectance spectrometer to the program.
Madrid / October 21, 2024
The Optical Radiation Measurements group has provided a spectral radiance meter (spectroradiometer for radiance averaging) for use in the television programme Órbita Laika, which will be broadcast tomorrow, 22 October at 10pm.
The instrument, supervised by our colleague Miguel Gómez del Río, will be used to see how we can identify different pigments in works of art and thus detect forgeries.

Órbita Laika is a popular science programme broadcast on channel 2 that combines entertainment and popular science to bring science to all audiences. Through experiments, interviews and thematic sections, the programme addresses current scientific issues in an entertaining and accessible way. Presented by Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón and other experts and with the collaboration of comedians, Órbita Laika has been a benchmark in Spanish television for 10 seasons, standing out for its ability to explain complex concepts in a fun and educational way, making science understandable and attractive to everyone.
For its part, the Optical Radiation Measurements (GIMRO) group develops its research so that the analysis and measurement of optical radiation is done in the best possible way in each circumstance, developing measurement patterns and methods and studying their uncertainties and limitations, in the UV, visible and near infrared ranges.
In particular, it has developed the average patterns of the Photometry, Radiometry and Optical Fiber Laboratory which have been recognized as national standards for the SI units candela and lumen.
