5 Ways You Can Use the FLIR identiFINDER Handheld Radiation Detection Systems
Handheld radionuclide identification devices (RID or RIID) are most often used on the frontline to detect, locate, identify, and secure gamma and neutron radiation hazards. They can also be deployed as a secondary verification tool at the site of a radiological event to deliver the spectroscopic information needed to identify a specific nuclide. Different scenarios require different detector sizes and sensitivity. The FLIR identiFINDER® R-series includes a range of handheld radiation detectors with performance that is scalable depending on the operational need. Here are 5 ways you can use the identiFINDER R400, R425, R440, and R500 RIDs.

Temperature Guns Versus Thermal Imaging Technology
Thermal imaging cameras are used for non-contact temperature measurements in companies all over the world. Another common tool for non-contact temperature measurements widely used in industrial applications is the spot pyrometer. Both spot pyrometers and thermal cameras work according to the same principle; they detect infrared radiation and translate it into a temperature reading. Thermal cameras however, have several advantages compared to spot pyrometers.

Thermography Shows Why Champagne Should Be Poured Differently
The only real champagne is produced exclusively within the Champagne region of France, from which it takes its name. Fittingly, it is in that region, at the University of Reims, that most of the champagne research is being done. The university’s most recent discovery is that the way champagne is currently poured, causes loss of aroma and thus of taste. The researchers claim that champagne should be served like beer. Thermographic cameras have played a vital part in this recent discovery.

How Apliter Termografía and FLIR Are Enhancing Volcanic Surveillance in La Palma with Cutting-Edge Gas Detection Technology
Volcanic activity in La Palma has created a complex situation for environmental surveillance and safety. Although the eruptive phase of the Cumbre Vieja volcano finished at the end of 2021, the emission of gases, such as CO₂, remains a challenge. Since it is a colorless and odorless gas, it can build up in areas that are difficult to access. This creates risks for both the population and the research teams working on the island. The accumulation of CO₂ in low or poorly ventilated areas displaces oxygen from the air. This can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, disorientation and even loss of consciousness. In volcanic environments, where gas is concentrated in depressions in the ground or enclosed spaces, the risk is even higher. In La Palma, the lack of real-time sensors made it difficult to detect these dangerous areas, which increased the risk of accidental exposure. To improve the surveillance and monitoring of these emissions, IGN needed a solution, such as an OGI thermal imaging camera, that would provide accurate data immediately and enable rapid action.
