FLIR T540 (Science)
Thermal Camera for Science Applications
Product Variations
The 464 × 348 (161,472 pixel) FLIR T540 thermal imaging camera is the perfect solution for research and science applications that require flexibility, precision, and ease of use. This uncooled thermal camera produces crisp, vibrant imagery that can be enhanced through UltraMax® technology for up to 645,888 pixel thermal resolution. Measure components down to 71 µm/pixel spot size with the optional Macro Mode or down to 34 µm/pixel with a 2x macro lens. Thanks to the award-winning ergonomic design and intuitive, rapid-response interface, the T540 can increase efficiency and help reduce test times. When coupled with Research Studio software, these cameras help researchers perform in-depth analysis and share data quickly.
Performance and Precision in an Uncooled Thermal Camera
The T540 offers the temperature sensitivity needed to detect differences smaller than 0.03°C and the measurement range to quantify heat generation up to 1500°C.
Set up and start testing quickly with the intuitive graphic user interface and streamlined user features and analysis tools.
Build client trust through sharply-focused, brilliant images that are also easy for non-experts to interpret.
