FLIR X8580™
High Definition MWIR Science-Grade Camera
Product Variations
The FLIR X8580 midwave IR camera is designed for scientists and engineers who need to capture detailed imagery of high-speed events, perform custom radiometric measurements, or detect points of failure in composites, solar cells, and electronics. This thermal imaging camera combines 1280 × 1024 HD resolution with fast frame rates and integration times, 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 X8580 will provide higher quality recordings, save time, and mitigate frustration in dynamic acquisition environments.
Standout Performance, Game-changing Capabilities
Record up to 34 seconds of full HD resolution data directly to on-camera memory, or up to 15 minutes to included 512 GB SSD
Capture essential data easily and control image frame generation precisely with dedicated trigger input and new Tri-level Sync input
Stream thermal data directly from the SSD over any of the digital data buses for advanced analysis with FLIR Research Studio software
