FLIR SC2500-NIR with filter

FLIR SC2500-NIR

Fully integrated near infrared camera for scientific studies, R&D, and critical processes

Product Overview

FLIR’s SC2500-NIR near infrared camera is designed to satisfy the requirements of a wide range of science and research applications. Its design makes it the only fully integrated camera covering the spectral range of 0.9µm to 1.7µm that combines thermal imaging and non-contact temperature measurements with superior data acquisition capabilities. While most competitive NIR cameras are simply thermal imagers, the SC2500-NIR provides accurate non-contact temperature measurements. The camera is able to be calibrated for temperatures up to 2000˚C. All required image processing electronics are embedded in the camera to deliver sharp, ready-to-use images. Other capabilities include high frame rates, flexible integration times, lock-in signal processing, spectral filtering, and a Gigabit Ethernet digital interface for seamless connection to standard PCs and laptops. 

Typical Applications and Users

With pricing comparable to NIR cameras having far fewer features and capabilities, the SC2500-NIR will be of great benefit in scientific research, imaging spectroscopy, astronomy, water or ice detection, laser profiling, medical procedures, solar cell inspection, silicon wafer processing, and many manufacturing applications.
