31. FLIR Thermal Cameras Help To Reduce The Invasiveness Of Cochlear Implant Surgery 8/10/2016

    The surgical placement of Cochlear hearing implants behind the human ear requires a highly trained surgeon, and can result in facial nerve damage, meningitis, tinnitus, infections, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and potentially more.

32. The Advantages Of LWIR SLS Thermal Cameras 6/15/2016

    New Type II Strained Layer Superlattice (SLS) detector materials from FLIR offer shorter integration times, wider temperature ranges, better uniformity, stability, and price than SWIR InSb and LWIR MCT materials, and are much cheaper than current LWIR MCT cameras.

33. Infrared R&D Handbook 6/1/2016

    This handbook provides a comprehensive guide for using infrared imaging technology in the research and development industry.

34. From “Guess” To “Best”: How Infrared Cameras Are Increasing Accuracy And Insight In Product Testing 5/25/2016

    This article explores how infrared (IR) cameras deliver a major data-gathering advantage over legacy approaches to temperature measurement, an advantage that can prevent costly product failures and safety hazards, providing an immediate and ongoing return on investment.

35. Next Generation IR Technologies Solve High Speed Automotive Testing Challenges 3/2/2016

    Non-contact forms of measurement are not fast enough to stop the motion on high speed targets and cannot take accurate temperature measurements. This application note discusses the need for cooled thermal cameras with short exposure times for these types of measurements

36. Thermal Imaging Cameras Allow Machines To Read Human Emotions 12/3/2015

    Scientists are researching how machines can understand human emotions through thermal imaging. In order for Artificial Agents (AAs) to set up contingent emotional and psychophysiological interaction with humans, the automatic nervous system (ANS) must be monitored and translated efficiently. 

37. High-Speed Thermal Cameras: The Need For Speed 9/15/2015

    The two types of thermal cameras include the cooled photon-counting cameras, and the uncooled microbolometer-based cameras. This application note discusses the different features and uses of these cameras, as well as providing real life examples of their fast and reliable measurement capabilities.

38. Thermal Security Cameras Protect The Home Turf 8/25/2015

    As BYU finished a $1M+ renovation to its football field, questions arose as to how it would be secured. This case study discusses how Brigham Young University benefitted from installing FLIR’s thermal security cameras into its security systems.

39. Cooled vs. Uncooled Thermal Imaging 4/29/2015

    This application note describes the difference between cooled and uncooled thermal imaging cameras, and when to use them in applications such as industrial R&D, academics and research, and defense and aerospace.

40. High Speed Infrared Imaging And The Ballistics Of 'Punkin Chunkin' 3/14/2013

    In an effort to improve the performance of their massive 120 foot pneumatic air cannon at the 2012 World Punkin Chunkin Championship (WCPC), American Chunker team captain Brian Labrie invited FLIR Systems’ infrared experts David Bursell and Ron Lucier to join his diverse crew of chunkin’-crazed engineers, scientists, and fabricators. With the addition of a high speed, high resolution MWIR infrared camera, the team was able to use thermal analysis of pumpkin ballistics to improve design and performance as they prepared for the event.
