Imaging system captures 200 IR images a second
Using a continuously rotating filter wheel, synchronised with the FPA detector, the Orion captures a single snap-shot image for each filter position, enabling true multispectral imaging.
Infra-red camera spots material stresses
The Altair Li system can be used to rapidly determine the material's fatigue limit and provide information on the damage mechanism involved.
The result is a large format (640 x 512 pixel) cooled IR camera that delivers an outstanding 100Hz full frame rate while maintaining extraordinary linearity, high resolution and uncompromised sensitivity (typically 15mK).
The Silver 660M been designed for the most demanding users of IR technology, who need to perform thermal imaging at high spatial resolution with leading-edge sensitivity and accuracy - all at an affordable price.
Packaged in a rugged aluminium housing the Silver 660M is built to be used.
Temperature sensors ensure the camera is always optimised to perform the most precise radiometric measurements.
Dissipating heat by conduction only, dust incursion is not a problem to the Silver 660M - a system designed to perform the most demanding R and D and thermography applications reliably over a long period of time.
Built for operational flexibility the Silver 660M is programmable from 1 to 100Hz in full frame mode, offers a subarray windowing mode with integration time adjustable in 1us increments and smart external triggering capability synchronising image capture to even the most fleeting events.
The Silver 660M offers true plug and play compatibility with standard computers as well as third party frame grabbers and image processing software.
Using either Camlink or USB2.0 interfaces the Silver 660M is able to transmit commands and transfer video images at 40MHz pixel rate and full 14bit dynamic range.
Comprehensive image analysis software dedicated to thermal measurement comes as standard.
The Silver 660M is fully compatible with Cedip's industry-leading Altair software allowing digital image recording and radiometric measurement even at full frame rate.
For users who wish to interface the camera with their own experiments, Cedip offers a complete LabView on C++ driver interface for controlling the camera features, acquiring and processing images. Request a free brochure from Cedip Infrared Systems ...
