Flir Systems, Freeport, Pa., has launched three science-grade thermal cameras: the A6200sc NIR, A8300sc HD MWIR, and A6700sc LWIR. Designed for applications such as electronics development, these cooled cameras deliver high image quality, standardized interfaces, and Matlab integration. The image shows a photo of a cooled InSb pcb from the A6700sc.
Each camera has a standard GigE Vision interface to transmit full dynamic range digital video, and GenICam for camera control. Users can stream temperature-calibrated data over Gigabit Ethernet to a PC for live image viewing and recording. Simultaneously active, yet independently-controlled, video interfaces give users excellent flexibility when recording and displaying thermal data.
Incorporating FLIR’s ResearchIR version 4.20 software, the new cameras offer researchers and scientists a powerful tool to monitor, acquire, analyze, and share captured thermal data. The release of ResearchIR Max version 4.20 gives users direct access to their MATLAB scripts within ResearchIR for the first time.
The A8300sc is a compact, high sensitivity, low noise MWIR camera with a cooled 1280 x 720 resolution Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector that delivers High Definition (HD) thermal images with the finest details. Its fast integration times allow the camera to capture fast-moving objects without blurring, and it has a wide selection of available optics. This model has been designed for thermal electronics inspection, thermal microscopy, nondestructive materials testing, failure analysis, aerial thermal mapping, and industrial R&D applications.
The A6200sc features a 640 x 512 resolution Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) detector that produces high quality Near Infrared (NIR) images, making it ideal for laser beam profiling, art restoration, solar cell inspection, and astronomy applications. Its adjustable windowing modes allow for super-fast frame rates to stop rapid events.
The A6700sc cooled Strained Layer Superlattice (SLS) detector produces crisp 640 x 512 resolution LWIR thermal imagery. It features ultra-short integration times to stop motion on fast-moving or thermally-dynamic targets. It also offers wide temperature ranges, allowing you to measure temperature on devices with wide thermal gradients, custom cold filters, and a wide selection of available optics. The A6700sc LWIR is perfect for automotive testing, university research and development, and industrial R&D applications.
