High-Speed, High-Precision MWIR Thermography for Advanced Measurement Tasks

The InfraTec ImageIR 5300 is a fast stationary mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera engineered for precise thermographic measurement and spectral analysis in demanding scientific and industrial environments. 

Designed around a cooled MCT snapshot detector with a 320 × 256 pixel format and 30 µm pitch, it combines high thermal sensitivity with exceptional temporal resolution to deliver reliable radiometric data across a wide range of temperatures. With standard GigE Vision compatibility and calibrated measurement performance, the ImageIR 5300 sets a benchmark for high-speed infrared diagnostics.

 

Key Features:

  • Large 320 x 256 pixel detector
  • Extremely high frame rates up to 105,000 Hz
  • Thermal resolution of less thank 15 mK
  • Large 30 µm  pixel pitch for high thermal sensitivity
  • Very short integration times for distortion-free imaging

Ultra-Fast, High-Precision Thermal Imaging for Dynamic Processes

Built for capturing and analyzing extremely rapid thermal processes, the ImageIR 5300 offers snapshot imaging up to 25 kHz (and up to 105,000 Hz in sub-frame mode), enabling users to visualize fast transient events without motion blur or sampling artefacts. 

Its motorized filter wheel supports spectral thermography with up to four selectable filters, while calibrated curves and HighSense functionality ensure stable, repeatable results regardless of measurement conditions. The modular housing and trigger interfaces allow seamless integration into automated test systems and complex measurement setups.
