Intended for scientific studies, research and development, and critical processes, the Model SC2500-NIR near-infrared camera from FLIR Systems has a spectral range of 0.9 µm to 1.7 µm. The company claims that it is the only camera covering this range that combines thermal imaging and noncontact temperature measurement with superior data-acquisition capabilities.
All required image-processing electronics are embedded in the camera to deliver sharp, ready-to-use images. Other capabilities include high frame rates, flexible integration times, lock-in signal processing, spectral filtering, and a Gigabit Ethernet interface for seamless connection to standard PCs and laptops.
The camera's InGaAs detector has an array size of 320x256 pixels and, combined with A/D electronics, allows full-frame acquisition rates of up to 340 Hz to capture images of fast-moving targets without image blur. An adjustable imaging window—down to 128x8 pixels—enables frame rates as high as 15 kHz.
Optionally, the Model SC2500-NIR's basic spectral range can be extended down to 0.4 µm, well into the visible light region. A removable lens interface with a built-in filter holder makes it easy to integrate the camera with custom devices or spectrometers. Neutral density filters can attenuate input energy to help prevent detector saturation, while spectral filters can narrow the detection band, allowing the camera to render certain types of media transparent or opaque.
Backend electronics of the SC2500-NIR camera include a trigger input, allowing synchronization with even the most fleeting event. Analog video output is available in PAL and NTSC formats for real-time viewing on a standard TV monitor.
