Integral optical front end allows rapid and precise focusing of the lens, and additional lenses can be added enabling use for microscopic examination or long-range measurements
The Silver 450M from Cedip Infrared Systems has been designed for the most demanding users of thermal IR camera technology.
The Silver 450M is described as an affordable, advanced IR camera based upon Cedip's proprietary high performance cryogenically cooled staring focal plane array detectors.
Incorporating the latest ROIC technology, the Silver 450M's 320x240 pixels format InSb detector (3-5um) delivers an 'outstanding' 400Hz full frame rate while maintaining linearity and high sensitivity of typically 15mK.
Built for operational flexibility, the Silver 450M is programmable from 1Hz to 400Hz in full frame mode, offers a sub-array windowing mode with integration time adjustable in 1us increments and smart external triggering capability synchronising image capture to even the most transient events.
The Silver 450M offers true plug and play compatibility with standard computers as well as third party frame grabbers and image processing software, says Cedip.
Using either Camlink or USB2.0 interfaces, it is able to transmit commands and transfer video images at 40MHz pixel rate and full 14-bit dynamic range.
Comprehensive image analysis software dedicated to thermal measurement comes as standard.
The Silver 450M is fully compatible with Cedip's Altair software for radiometric measurement and digital image recording even at full frame rate.
Incorporating an integral optical front end, the Silver 450M allows rapid and precise focusing of the lens, which can be controlled remotely.
Additional lenses can be added through a bayonet mount, enabling the Silver 450M to be used for applications ranging from microscopic examination up to long-range measurements.
A removable filter wheel, entirely accessible to the user for exchanging filters, has been implemented for applications requiring multispectral filtering.
The calibration curves for Silver 450M camera can be determined and loaded directly from software further extending the possibilities for research and development applications where flexibility is needed.
