FLIR X6980™
High-Speed MWIR Science-Grade Camera
Product Variations
The FLIR X6980 is an extraordinarily fast midwave 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 with blazing-fast frame rates, allowing researchers to record stop motion on fast-moving subjects or rapid temperature changes—whether in the lab or on the test range. With a four-position motorized filter wheel and support for FLIR motorized focus lenses, the X6980 will provide higher quality recordings, save time, and mitigate frustration in dynamic acquisition environments.
Record crisply-focused, full 640 × 512 resolution thermal images at up to 1004 Hz with very low noise
Save up to 26,000 frames of data directly to on-camera memory or up to 15 minutes to included 512 GB SSD
Stream thermal data directly to a computer to view, record, and analyze with FLIR Research Studio
