Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 29, 2005

The new M4 camera is a handheld instrument of a similar size and shape to a mobile telephone, weighing-in at less than 300g.

In a radical move to open thermal imaging and radiometry to a much wider user base, Armstrong Optical of Northampton has announced the immediate availability of a new, low cost, addition to its range of thermal imaging and visible imaging camera systems.

The new M4 camera is a handheld instrument of a similar size and shape to a mobile telephone, weighing-in at less than 300g.

It comes complete with a thermal imaging camera, a visible imaging camera, a laser locator and thermal- and visible-channel displays, allowing easy identification of thermal properties.

Onboard software functions - accessed via a set of thumb-operated keys - allow temperature measurements with sensitivity of 0.1C.

Object emissivity, single and multiple point temperatures, isotherms, max/min and electronic zoom are all standard functions ensuring comprehensive probing for, and pinpointing of, potential problems.

The M4 camera has 8Gbit of onboard data storage for thermal and visible images plus up to 300 seconds of voice annotation per image pair, and for complete data security, the stored data can be easily transferred to a PC system via a USB interface.

Bundled with the camera is a suite of Windows-based post-processing software offering an extensive range of temperature measurement, image processing and report generating functions.

The M4 has already shown itself to be ideal for applications such as energy management and thermal surveys, analysis of storage/reactor tank levels and insulation, pipe blockage, motor and pump bearings, overheating electrical switchgear, transformers, busbars and power lines plus many, many more.

Additionally, for those requiring even more choice, the M4 is available in four colours.
