About Nanocandelas

The nanocandela (ncd) equals 10⁻⁹ cd. The scale of extremely faint bioluminescence: a single luciferin-luciferase reaction emits around 1-10 ncd; dark-adapted firefly flashes peak at a few hundred ncd. Also the range for cooled avalanche-photodiode sensitivity characterisation. 1 ncd = 10⁻⁹ cd.

About Violle

The violle (Vl) ≈ 20.17 cd is the first photometric unit not based on a flame source, proposed by Jules Violle in 1881 and adopted by the CGS system. Defined as the luminous intensity of 1 cm² of platinum at its solidification point (1 768 °C). Used historically in French and international photometry before 1948. 1 Vl ≈ 20.17 cd.
