Thermal Imaging for Academic Research and Education

FLIR infrared cameras are being used in university laboratories where high-end academic and applied research is on-going on a wide range of disciplines. They are also used by university professors as a practical support to their classes.

FLIR infrared cameras make accurate non-contact temperature measurements on a wide range of objects. For every situation characterized by a heat transfer mechanism, may it be conductive, convective, or radiative, FLIR infrared cameras are used for quantitative and/or qualitative evaluation on research projects, from swirling flow dynamics to the thermo-mechanical behaviour of composite structures.

Because of their dramatic visual presentation of heat energy and temperature, IR cameras strongly reinforce the learning process. Their use is limited only by an instructor’s imagination.
