FLIR High-Speed MWIR Science-Grade Camera FLIR X6980™
The FLIR X6980 is a high-speed, highly sensitive mid-wave IR camera with 640 × 512 resolution, perfect for scientists and engineers. It captures detailed imagery of fast events and detects points of failure in materials, making it ideal for various applications, including thermal mapping in materials research.
As part of FLIR's X-Series cameras, the X6980 boasts advanced recording, triggering, and synchronisation capabilities, ensuring seamless integration for demanding applications. Equipped with a four-position motorised filter wheel and support for FLIR motorised focus lenses, this camera delivers superior recordings, saving time and enhancing efficiency in dynamic environments. Combining a highly sensitive detector with high-speed frame rates allows researchers to capture and freeze motion in high-speed events, whether in the lab or on the test range.
