Flir Systems offers thermal imaging cameras for research and development applications
Flir Systems
SC8400/SC6500 series thermal imaging cameras
The SC8400/SC6500 series thermal imaging cameras from Flir Systems that are designed for use in scientific and research and development applications, and can be used in dark environments.
The thermal imaging cameras feature a cooled Indium Antimonide detector, a temperature probe in the lens assembly and an integral LED light for use in dark environments, as well as lens recognition and automatic measurement adjustments. A range of lenses are available for use with both series.
Additionally, the devices offer a range of connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet and Camera Link medium and are DVI-output compatible with 1,080p and wi-fi, which enables the camera to be controlled wirelessly via a smart phone or tablet PC.
Commonly used configurations for SC8400/SC6500 series cameras can be saved to the micro SD-card so that the devices can be used by multiple users without requiring experience in camera reconfiguring.
When required for use in space-limited applications, the camera’s LCD screen can be removed — enabling it to be installed in hard-to-reach places and controlled remotely.
