How Thermal Imaging Transforms Scientific Research

Thermal imaging has emerged as a transformative technology across multiple scientific disciplines, offering a non-invasive and highly accurate method for detecting and analysing temperature variations. This technology is now playing a pivotal role in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, industrial applications, engineering solutions, and more.

On the right track: UK rail operator trials ‘Intelligent Train’ prototype to transform transport network

Rail operator Northern is trialing a new state-of-the-art train to help radically improve infrastructure issues and highlight damaged tracks, led by FLIR’s industry-leading thermographic cameras.

Thermography Shows Why Champagne Should Be Poured Differently

All over the world champagne is associated with luxury and celebration. Not only is it a symbol of wealth, each year on New Year’s Eve millions of people all over the world pop the cork off a bottle. But up until now the mechanics behind the taste of this special drink remained clouded in mystery.

Choosing Between Cooled or Uncooled Technology

When it comes to thermal imaging cameras, the choice between cooled and uncooled models is pivotal. Each has its strengths, but understanding their differences and applications will help you make an informed decision.

Choosing the Right Lens

To ensure the best thermal imagery and the most points of measurement on your subject, you should select a lens that fills the field of view with your target of interest. At the same time, you’ll want the optimal spatial resolution to ensure the smallest object detail you need to see matches your instantaneous field of view (IFOV).
