Medium-wave infrared thermal camera for range tracking, science, and measurement introduced by FLIR Systems
WILSONVILLE, Ore. – FLIR Systems Inc. in Wilsonville, Ore., is introducing the FLIR RS8500 mid-wave infrared (MWIR) thermal camera for range tracking, science, and measurement applications.
The high-performance RS8500 combines a mid-wave infrared detector and telescope in a weatherproof housing built for long-range and high-temperature targets in harsh environments.
The RS8500 allows for measurement accuracy through a MWIR detector, which provides high-definition, large-format thermal images with the ability to deliver data as fast as 180 frames per second, coupled with a high-resolution, 120-1200-millimeter continuous metric zoom lens.
This provides maximum situational awareness at relatively wide fields of view and zoom capabilities at long focal lengths to make the most of the number of pixels on a target at any distance.
The thermal camera also can image through neutral-density filters, ensuring that hot targets do not look saturated. Further, the RS8500 offers 24 percent more pixels and a 46 percent faster frame speed than the previous RS8000 models.
The RS8500 also provides one graphical user interface and several simultaneous data outputs to enable easy integration of the camera into existing data acquisition systems as well as FLIR Research Studio.
