IR Camera for Moving Objects
The new ImageIR® 9800 from infraTec, Dresden, Germany, is designed for high-resolution thermographic measurements of highly dynamic processes. The radiometrically calibrated infrared camera operates in the long-wave atmospheric window (LWIR). Thanks to a cooled focal plane array photon detector with 1280 × 1024 IR pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 μm. It delivers razor-sharp images and distortion-free sequences even with short integration times or at low radiation intensity.
