Specim's LWIR cameras are thermal hyperspectral cameras designed for the LWIR region from 8 to 12 μm. The cameras operate on a push-broom basis, providing complete, continuous hyperspectral data for each pixel along the image line.
There are 2 models in total: LWIR HS (without cooled detector) and LWIR OWL (with cryo-cooled MCT detector).
The LWIR HS model integrates an uncooled detector with optics. It is a compact (only 3.5kg), versatile instrument for a wide range of applications. The LWIR HS (high sensitivity) covers a spectral range of 8-12 μm and contains a total of 44 spectral bands along with 100 nm spectral sampling. These features make it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications or even for chemical imaging.
The LWIR OWL model finds its application in demanding field applications, typically in safety and security or in situations where remote control is required. The camera incorporates a temperature-stabilized LWIR imaging spectrograph with a cooled MCT detector that provides unmatched sensitivity. In addition, it covers a spectral range of 8-12 μm and features high spectral selectivity reaching 84 bands (48 nm sampling) and a frame rate of up to 100 frames per second.
