High-Speed Thermal Data Collection
With so many temperature measurement tools available, why choose thermal imaging? For researchers and engineers, especially in military and range applications, thermal imaging offers a distinct advantage: it captures thermal data without physical contact with the target.
High-end R&D and science-grade cameras provide the speed and spatial resolution needed to track fast-moving targets and thermal transients and also feature advanced triggering and timing capabilities. These cameras can detect even the slightest temperature variations—measuring differences as small as 0.02°C (20 mK). With FLIR infrared cameras, you can analyze the data your way using FLIR R&D software or custom solutions with our SDK.
FLIR Systems, initially known as AGEMA, has been at the forefront of thermal imaging for over 50 years. As the technology evolved, FLIR developed compact systems with user-friendly controls, delivering sharp, real-time, high-resolution images. Thanks to infrared detection and cooling advancements, FLIR cameras now offer greater accuracy, faster speeds, and improved resolution—precisely what’s required for R&D and science applications.
In the last decade, FLIR’s science models have expanded to provide affordable access to various infrared bands, detector materials, and temperature ranges. With enhanced connectivity and software integration options, it’s easier than ever for scientists to incorporate infrared systems into their research.
