Flir Systems product story

Oct 20, 2009
The SC2500 NIR camera is Flir's first indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) model with European FPA detector.
The camera has embedded lock-in signal input, used to enhance signal-to-noise ratio imaging.
The SC2500 NIR camera is fully radiometric for high-temperature thermographic applications up to 3,000C and is compatible with Altair software
This may be useful for applications such as silicon wafer inspection.
The Flir SC2500-N also has user-selectable integration times of up to one second.
This allows a wide temperature range to be addressed with optimal accuracy.
For those involved in biological IR, the Flir SC2500-N can filter out unwanted spectral regions.
The camera is also fully radiometric for high-temperature thermographic applications up to 3,000C and is compatible with Altair software.
Frame rates are up to 15kHz.
Other features include snap-in optical filter holder, input as well as output triggering and a removable optical interface that allows the camera to be teamed with custom devices or spectrometers.
Its Gigabit Ethernet digital interface provides connection to any standard PC or laptop.
The embedded European detector provides considerable added value when compared to coated CCD and lead-oxysulphide detectors (vidicons), said Flir.
Spectral sensitivity of Flir's InGaAs detector is 1,700nm by comparison with the alternatives, whose quantum efficiency typically drops to one to two per cent in the 1,100nm to 1,700nm range.
This camera delivers ready to use, sharp images for applications such as solar-cell inspection, laser profiling, paint analysis, water or ice detection, furnace inspection, fine art analysis, astronomy, skin damage evaluation, low-light imagery and phenomenology.
With the introduction of this model, Flir now covers the entire IR spectrum - 0.8 to 12um - with a single suite of cameras.
