Flir Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) has announced a microscopy stand that enables its SC5000 cooled IR camera to provide a complete solution for infrared microscopy research applications.
These applications are found in industries including electronics, biotechnology and nanotechnology.
The microscopy stand together with an X5 macro lens, when used with a Flir SC5000 series camera, provides spatial resolution down to 3 microns/pixel without loss of dynamics or measurement accuracy.
The Flir SC5000 series is designed for demanding users of infrared technology who want to perform thermal imagery at high spatial resolution with high sensitivity and accuracy.
With a choice of 320 x 240 pixels or 640 x 512 pixels format InSb focal plane array delivers respectively a 100 or 380Hz frame rate while keeping good linearity and sensitivity figures.
The use of Flir's latest read-out integrated circuit technology is said to provide low noise and high pixel rate without compromising sensitivity.
The Flir SC5000 series is 'plug and play' using either GigE or Camlink interfaces to transmit both commands and full dynamic range digital video.
Its autofocus embedded lens allows users to easily set up the camera.
