FLIR X6980 SLS™ High-Speed LWIR Science-Grade Camera

Brand : Teledyne FLIR
Categories : High Performance Cameras

The FLIR X6980 SLS is an extraordinarily fast longwave IR camera designed for scientists and engineers who need to capture high-speed imagery for accurate thermal analysis and custom radiometric measurements. This thermal imaging camera combines 640 × 512 resolution from the SLS detector with the fastest high-speed frame rates to offer the shorter snapshot speeds and wider temperature bands needed to record crisp stop motion images of high-speed events. With a four-position motorized filter wheel and support for FLIR motorized focus lenses, the X6980 SLS will provide high quality recordings, save time, and mitigate frustration in dynamic acquisition environments.
