WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 3, 2017 — 
The FLIR X6900sc SLS and FLIR X8500sc SLS high-speed, longwave thermal cameras from Flir Systems Inc. are designed for science and research applications.
The new thermal cameras are based on FLIR’s highest-speed, midwave thermal camera models, the X6900sc and X8500sc, but feature strained layer superlattice (SLS) detectors filtered for longwave IR. These SLS detectors produce high frame rates and wide temperature ranges, as well as integration times that are more than 12× faster than their midwave counterparts. Flir combined this advanced technology with remote triggering and precise synchronization to produce high-performance cameras that can capture meaningful data for applications ranging from aerospace research to composite materials testing.
The FLIR X6900sc SLS captures full-frame 640 × 512 thermal images at 1004 fps at temperatures up to 3000 °C. The FLIR DVIRTM, a removable storage device that comes standard with the X6900sc SLS, saves up to 26 s of data to on-camera RAM without dropping frames. With advanced triggering options and an automatic, four-position filter wheel, the camera offers the functionality to stop motion on high-speed events both in the lab and at the test range.
The FLIR X8500sc SLS records up to 181 fps of full 1280 × 1024 HD thermal imagery. The camera also features the FLIR DVIR which saves up to 36 s of data to on-camera RAM without dropping frames and can measure temperatures up to 3000 °C. The X8500sc SLS streams high-speed, 14-bit data simultaneously over Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, and CoaXpress for live viewing, analysis, or recording.
