  1. When And Why You Should Use SWIR 2/13/2017

    Martin Ettenberg, with Princeton Infrared, gave us a breakdown on when and why you should use shortwave infrared imaging, and what this technology’s role can be as it relates to machine vision applications.

  2. Three Things To Consider Before Purchasing A High Speed Camera 2/2/2017

    At Photonics West 2017, Gene Nepomuceno with Vision Research spent a few minutes with us discussing the three main factors one should take into account before selecting a high speed camera – resolution, frame rate, and sensitivity (with an honorable mention for transferring the data off of the camera).

  3. Product Video: New Imaging Solution For Light-Starved Applications 2/2/2017

    At Photonics West 2017, Mark Donaghy with Raptor Photonics introduced us to two new products – an EMCCD platform for astronomy, Bose-Einstein condensate studies, calcium signaling, and other light-starved applications, as well as a new HD VIS/SWIR camera that offers the lowest dark reading currents on the market.

  4. Product Video: Chip-On-Tip Imaging Technology 2/2/2017

    Paul Dempster with Toshiba kicks off his video at Photonics West 2017 with a quick summary of their legacy 3-chip CMOS cameras before going into a new offering – a chip-on-tip 0.7mm x 0.7mm CMOS sensor.

  5. Product Video: FLIR's Highest Speed and Highest Resolution Camera 2/2/2017

    FLIR introduced a new infrared camera at Photonics West 2017 – the X8500sc. Ross Overstreet gave us an overview on the new camera platform’s specifications and features – including on-board RAM.

  6. Product Video: High Definition In Thermal Imaging 2/1/2017

    At Photonics West 2017, Chris Johnston with Sierra-Olympic talked to us about the challenges of developing high definition thermal imagers, as well as some of his company’s accomplishments regarding independent infrared imaging.

  7. Next Generation Detector Technologies For High Speed Thermal Applications 2/1/2017

    Ross Overstreet from FLIR, gave us a quick introduction to two new thermal camera platforms they’re showcasing at SPIE Photonics West 2017, and then discussed the variety of applications that infrared imaging technology can be used for.

  8. A Spark In The Dark – And How To Snatch It With PCO's High-Speed Cameras 1/10/2017

    High-speed camera users demand cameras that work accurately under the harshest environmental conditions, making reliability and operational capability crucial considerations in scientific cameras. This video shows a combustion analysis application, using a pco.dimax high-speed camera, at the Robert Bosch GmbH in Stuttgart. 

  9. Mach Diamonds: Winner Of “Excellent Slow Motion” Award 12/8/2016

    Mach disks, or “shock diamonds,” are the result of standing shockwaves caused by abrupt pressure changes, usually only seen in the under expanded flow of gas from a jet engine. As the winner of the “Excellent Slow Motion Award” at ICHSIP 31 in Osaka, Japan, this video sequence shows the liftoff of a pressurized PET drink bottle from a toy rocket captured with a Phantom Camera at 50,000 fps, and slowed for viewing by factor of 2,000.

  10. Webinar: High-Speed Infrared Imaging For Internal Combustion Engine Diagnostics 11/4/2016

    High-speed infrared imaging is found to be a new diagnostic tool for studying ICEs. This Telops webinar offers a brief overview of optical engines, infrared (IR) narrowband imaging, and the investigation of a 4-cycle diesel ICE using high-speed IR imaging.
