  • FLIR to Participate in National Academies of Sciences Workshop on Biological Detection Systems

    The workshop will explore alternative and effective bio detection systems for aerosolized agents that meet the technical and operational requirements for the Department of Homeland Security’s BioWatch Program.

  • The Advantages of LWIR SLS Thermal Cameras

    Thermal infrared cameras have reimagined how we perform thermal measurements for research and science testing. In recent years, we’ve seen significant readout and camera electronic advances that push the limits of resolution, speed, and sensitivity.

  • High Speed Thermal Cameras – the Need for Speed

    Measuring heat with thermocouples or spot pyrometers can leave you with an incomplete picture of a device’s thermal properties. These traditional methods don’t offer the resolution or speed needed to fully characterize high speed thermal applications. Infrared cameras, on the other hand, capture thousands of points of high speed thermal measurement, showing you exactly where heat is flaring up, and how fast. With the right infrared camera, you can gather reliable measurements and generate compelling data for your research.

  • Mass Spectrometers

    FLIR Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometers GC/MS accurately detect and identify explosives, drugs, CWAs, TICs, environmental pollutants and a wide range of other chemicals.

  • FLIR Systems Powers New Cat S60, the World's First Thermal Imaging Smartphone

    FLIR Systems, Inc. today announced that Bullitt Group, a leading manufacturer of ruggedized smartphones, will integrate FLIR's Lepton® microcamera in the new Cat S60, creating the world's first thermal imaging smartphone. The Cat S60 smartphone, part of the extensive Cat Phones lineup of ruggedized handsets, is the latest consumer product to feature FLIR's thermal imaging technology and will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, Spain.

  • Thermal Imaging Helps in Evaluating Dental Drilling

    Researchers are using high speed FLIR thermal cameras to study drilling techniques in a lab setting. By understanding the conditions that lead to thermal damage, they hope to find the optimal method for post space preparation of teeth.

  • FLIR X6540sc camera enables innovative thermographic particle velocimetry technique

    A multiphase flow is defined as a flow in which more than one phase (i.e. gas, solid and liquid) occurs. Such flows are ubiquitous in industry, examples being gas-liquid flows in evaporators and condensers, gas-liquid-solid flows in chemical reactors, solid-gas flows in pneumatic conveying, etc. Multiphase flows can exhibit a rich variety of interfacial phenomena, complex wave patterns and dynamics and are an ongoing object of research.

  • Forensic Investigations Using Thermography and Steam

    Researchers looking for an alternative method of detecting the presence of dilute concentrations of blood on fabric have found a solution in thermal imaging. While blood is not visible on its own in the infrared spectrum, they discovered it was possible to create a thermal signature by introducing water vapor to a bloodstained sample. Despite some challenges with natural fibers, this thermal imaging method may be a preferable alternative to the use of luminol in forensic investigations.

  • FLIR Announces FLIR RSX-F Thermal Fire Sensor for Rail Coaches

    FLIR Systems, Inc. today announced the FLIR RSX-F intelligent sensor for advanced fire detection inside rail coaches. The FLIR RSX-F uses the FLIR Lepton® thermal sensor and high-definition visual imaging for fire and occupancy detection as well as CCTV monitoring.

  • Mobile Infrared Scanning — A High-Tech, Accurate Alternative to Traditional Bridge Inspection Methods

    Civil engineers have a big problem on their hands: tens of thousands of bridges across the United States have been in use long past their 50-year design life. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), approximately one-quarter of the 611,845 bridges across the US are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. These bridges will require significant maintenance, repair, or replacement, at an estimated cost of $20.5 billion annually over the next 12 years.
