  • Radiation at Chernobyl Today

    How much radiation still remains at the site where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine suffered a massive explosion more than 30 years ago? FLIR finds out using the identiFINDER R440 to measure radiation levels and locate at identify radionuclides at the site, as well as the identiFINDER R100 to determine the total dose of radiation received during a visit to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ).

  • What are IR Camera Lenses Made Of?

    IR camera lenses are made out of germanium, a semi-metallic element. But why use this specialized element instead of a more common substance like glass? This article explains why germanium is used to make IR camera lenses.

  • FLIR A50 and A70 Thermal Cameras Offer Turnkey Solutions for Efficient Data Analysis

    When decision makers seek to integrate new hardware into their automation process, they are often looking at a few key areas – the ease of use, price point, features, and the ability to utilize the hardware at multiple points throughout their system. The new A50 and A70 thermal cameras come in three options – Smart, Streaming, and Research & Development to fit the needs of professionals across a variety of industries – from manufacturing to utilities to science.  The new cameras offer improved accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% temperature measurement, compared to the previous accuracy of ±5°C, or ±5% temperature measurement. The cameras all include an IP66 rating, along with a small, compact size with higher resolution options compared to previous versions.

  • Watertown Public Library Lends out FLIR C5 to Patrons

    The Watertown Free Public Library in Massachusetts recently launched a “Library of Things” lending program—a collection of non-traditional library materials that can be checked out for a week just like a book or a DVD. Among the collection is a FLIR C5, a handheld thermal imaging camera that patrons can use for a variety of home and DIY applications.

  • Unmatched Maritime Awareness with Cooled Thermal Imaging

    Thermal imaging is a longstanding tool for improved marine awareness. Its ability to detect vessels, objects, and body heat in complete darkness and through atmospheric obscurants allows safer, 24/7 navigation. Not all thermal cameras are created equal, variables such as sensor resolution, lens size, and whether the camera is cooled or uncooled influence the image’s clarity and range.

  • World Wildlife Fund: Love It or Lose It Campaign

    In February, World Wildlife Fund launched the “Love It or Lose It” campaign to highlight the wildlife and wild places we’re at risk of losing if we don’t love and protect them enough. This Earth Day, FLIR CEO Jim Cannon tells us what he loves about nature and the work FLIR does to help protect it.

  • Picking a Thermal Color Palette

    While thermal images may sometimes look like standard photographs, their vivid colors or contrasting grayscale details represent a very specific, very large data set of temperature information. Understanding what these colors and shades represent can help with detecting everything from a water leak to a missing person. 

  • New FLIR T865 Joins T-Series Family with Improved Accuracy for Condition Monitoring and Science Applications

    FLIR Systems today announced the latest T-Series high-performance thermal camera, the FLIR T865. Built for electrical condition and mechanical equipment inspection, and for use in research and development applications, the T865 provides ±1 °C (±1.6 °F) or ±1% temperature measurement accuracy, a wider temperature range between –40 °C to 120 °C (-40 °F to 248 °F), and more on-camera tools for improved analysis.

  • Tech for Good – Thermal Technology for Locating Buried Landmines

    Mobility Robotics and Humanity & Inclusion made an award-winning breakthrough under actual field conditions during October 2019, March 2020, and March 2021 in the Central North African Republic of Chad. It was found that a temperature difference in the Sahara Desert sand was visible directly above where buried landmines were located, using FLIR IR cameras.
