‘Imaging Camera’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Fluke (UK) - take a look at Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager which says: "Fluke is offering handheld Ti9 electrical thermal imagers for electricians with limited or no experience of using them to inspect, repair and verify electrical infrastructure and equipment.".

Take a look also at the news release from Alrad Instruments, Alrad introduces GigE Vision line scan camera, as well as Night Vision plus makes driving in the dark safer from Bosch Automotive OE Division, and DVR package has range of available interfaces from Multipix Imaging.
