The troland (symbol Td), named after Leonard T. Troland, is a unit of conventional retinal illuminance. It is meant as a method for correcting photometric measurements of luminance values impinging on the human eye by scaling them by the effective pupil size. It is equal to retinal illuminance produced by a surface whose luminance is one nit when the apparent area of the entrance pupil of the eye is 1 square millimeter. The troland unit was proposed in 1916 by Leonard T. Troland, who called it a photon. The troland typically refers to the ordinary or photopic troland, which is defined in terms of the photopic luminance: , where L is the photopic luminance in cd m−2 and p is pupil area in mm2. A scotopic troland is also sometimes defined: , where L′ is the scotopic luminance in cd m−2 and p is pupil area in mm2. Although named "retinal illuminance" (and originally named "photon" by Troland), trolands do not measure the actual photon flux incident on the retina; that quantity depends on the specific wavelengths of light that constitute the luminance used in the calculation.
