  1. The Complete Guidebook On Thermal Screening For Elevated Skin Temperature 8/6/2020

    As the importance for detecting signs of illness becomes more important in today’s world, technologies that can help contain the spread of diseases such as bird flu, swine flu, or COVID-19 are essential. Infrared thermography, especially with the use of an infrared camera, can detect elevated skin temperatures in a crowd, which may indicate the presence of a fever. This method offers a vital tool in screening travelers, hospital patients and visitors, warehouse workers, customers, and more.

  2. Validating Thermal Protection Before A Space-Shot Launch 6/5/2020

    Neil Tewksbury and his team at the University of Southern California Rocket Propulsion Lab want to blast a rocket into space. As part of an unof cial space race among international universities, Tewksbury and his team don’t just want to be the  rst team to successfully launch; they want to reach an altitude of 100 km (330,000 ft) above sea level with a rocket made up completely of components that they manufacture themselves. They only get to build one or two rockets every year, so testing components on the ground is essential to building viable rockets.

  3. FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Monitor Stress Levels Of Helicopter Pilots 6/5/2020

    Flying a helicopter is a stressful activity. Pilots have a high workload and are constantly under pressure. Italian helicopter manufacturer Leonardo wanted a reliable and objective way to measure the stress that pilots experience, so they would be able to design more functional cockpits and train helicopter pilots more efficiently. The company brought in high-end thermal cameras from FLIR to monitor pilots during flight simulations and to exactly see which procedures and operations cause stress.

  4. FLIR Cameras Reveal Thermal Characteristics of Microelectronic Devices 12/12/2019

    At the University of Texas at Arlington, the team of Dr. Ankur Jain, who heads the Microscale Thermophysics Laboratory, studies a range of topics related to microscale thermal transport.

  5. See The Heat: Troubleshooting PCB And Electronic Product Design With Thermal Imaging 6/28/2019

    In this webinar, FLIR's Jerry Beeney compares infrared imaging with the more traditional temperature measurement devices, utilizing real-world IR images and examples to demonstrate how infrared thermography can more easily identify hot spots and improve thermal management.

  6. Improving Additive Manufacturing With The Help Of Infrared 5/9/2019

    Additive manufacturing technologies create components directly from a computer model, adding material only where needed. This app note discusses how infrared cameras can help manufacturers find systematic problems and determine the changes needed to maintain product quality.

  7. Overcoming The Challenges Of Measuring Temperature At High Speeds With FLIR X-Series Cameras 10/18/2018

    Measuring the temperature of fast moving objects can be very challenging since traditional temperature measurement devices are often too slow or simply impractical.  In this brief 20-30 minute webinar, FLIR’s Scientific Segment Engineer, Taimen Taylor, will discuss how recent developments in high speed thermal camera technology allow engineers and researchers the ability to easily visualize and accurately measure temperatures on extremely fast moving targets.  Taimen will use real-world images from a variety of high speed thermal applications to showcase how new camera features allow users to record, access and analyze data quickly and easily.

  8. Infrared Camera Accuracy And Uncertainty In Plain Language 8/23/2018

    Trusting measurements from instruments can be difficult without a clear understanding of how the sensitivity and accuracy is derived. Many times, infrared camera measurement accuracy is confusing and can involve complex terms and jargon that may be misleading. 

  9. Electronic Component Testing: A Non-Contact Sport 8/23/2018

    The smaller and more powerful an electronic device becomes, the more damage can be caused from its inherent heat. Designers are continuously looking for ways to keep components cool while maintaining the quality and integrity of performance.

  10. Finding Resolution In A Distant Image 7/20/2018

    IR cameras on the military test range often need to focus on far-away objects. Despite common misperceptions, zoom lenses work in IR cameras, but understanding spatial resolution is key.
