An apparatus for measuring brightness transmitted by a light-emitting
display unit of a laser telescope and observed by the user's eyes
comprises a focusing unit (11), a sensor unit (12), a processing unit
(13) and a display unit (14). A method of measuring brightness includes
the steps of: providing a constant color temperature to simulate the
external light; providing a tool platform and locating the apparatus for
measuring brightness and the laser telescope under test thereon; further
providing a light-impermeable cover to cover the laser telescope and the
apparatus for avoiding the external light interfering with the
measurement of brightness; then turning on the laser telescope and
enabling it to range; picking up the light of a reticle and a measured
value transmitted from the light-emitting display unit by means of the
apparatus for measuring brightness; and at last, displaying the measured
value on the display unit of said apparatus for measuring brightness.
