Research & Industrial Applications of Near-IR CamerasNov 19, 2010FLIR Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) has announced a new technical article that reviews a selection of the major applications for which Near-Infrared cameras are particularly well-suited. Near-IR cameras, which are sensitive to the near-infrared spectrum (0.9 to 1.7 µm) are increasingly found in research laboratories, design departments and on factory production lines. Used to view phenomena that cannot be observed with 'thermal' (MWIR/LWIR) imaging systems, Near-IR cameras have many advantages
