High‑Speed MWIR Thermography for Extreme Thermal Dynamics

The InfraTec ImageIR 8300 hs is engineered for high‑speed, high‑precision thermographic measurement where capturing rapid temperature changes is essential. 

Built around a 640 × 512 T2SLS or InSb detector with 25 µm pixel pitch, this mid‑wave infrared (MWIR) camera combines excellent thermal resolution with ultra‑high frame rates, exceeding 1,100 Hz in full resolution and tens of kilohertz in sub‑frame modes, for detailed analysis of dynamic processes. 

Its sophisticated detector and long‑life cooling technology reduce stress on the cooling system, enhancing reliability and service life compared to conventional cooled infrared systems.

 

Key Features:

  • Short integration times due to 25 µm pixel pitch
  • Thermal resolution of less than 20 mK
  • Large 640 x 512 pixel detector
  • Up to 1,105 Hz full frame rate
  • Measurement accuracy of +/- 1%
