Apogee Instruments is a U.S.-based manufacturer of environmental sensors and measurement instruments, headquartered in Logan, Utah. The company was founded in 1996 by Dr. Bruce Bugbee, a crop physiology professor at Utah State University, who initially developed research instruments at his kitchen table and garage to meet the needs of his own scientific work. Since its founding, the company has focused on producing reliable, research-grade sensors for measuring environmental variables such as light, radiation, temperature, and other atmospheric conditions, with tools including the brand’s DLI-500 Daily Light Integral and Photoperiod Meter and MQ-500 Quantum Meter. Apogee’s products are widely used in agriculture, climate research, renewable energy, and environmental monitoring applications around the world. Over the years, Apogee Instruments has expanded from a small garage operation to a modern facility designed for efficient manufacturing and sensor calibration. The company is recognized for combining scientific expertise with precision engineering to create accurate, durable, and cost-effective measurement technology trusted by researchers and professionals globally.
