InfraTec introduces MicroScan, an option to quadruple the image format for a radiometric thermography camera used in the civil sector with cooled FPA photon detector for the first time. For models of the ImageIR^® high-end camera series, this means that images can be recorded with up to (2,560 × 2,048) IR pixels (5.2 Megapixels). Users profit from a greatly improved resolution of fine structures in the thermogram. New quality in recognition of details. The unusual richness of detail is characteristic for images recorded with MicroScan. The exposures are extremely low in noise and show the measurement objects with very fine resolution. A look at the edge transitions of the objects shows this especially well. Angular object edges or curves are also reproduced exactly even when digital zoom expands the image section greatly.

Use of MicroScan simplifies evaluation and analysis of thermograms for the user, as considerably more details can be recognized on the images. Fast and efficient solution. Behind the function is a newly developed, fast-rotating MicroScan wheel, which is integrated into the camera. It ensures that four different individual exposures are taken per wheel revolution, which are offset laterally by half a pixel each. These individual exposures are brought together in real time into a thermogram with quadruple image format. Each pixel in the image represents a genuine temperature measured value and not an interpolated image point. All this is done not only precisely, but also at enormous speed. While the cameras operate in full-frame mode, the MicroScan wheel turns a several thousand revolutions per minute. Thanks to such high speeds, users with MicroScan can thermographically analyze processes with moving measurement objects or changing temperatures.

The technology is not only predestined for use in micro-thermography, but also for a wide variety of security applications.
