FLIR Systems introduces next generation of compact, high-definition thermal science cameras
7 Feb 2020
FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR A8580 series of entry-level, cooled high-definition thermal science cameras designed for a wide range of industrial, military, science, and product research and development applications.
These 1.3-megapixel cameras record blur-free images of high-speed targets, offer a wide range of precision, manual and motorized lenses, and integrate seamlessly with the new FLIR Research Studio thermal analysis software – to provide users with a high-end experience in a compact, easy-to-use device.
The A8580 series includes four mid-wave infrared (MWIR) models as well as a long-wave model that provides better uniformity and stability than other, similar LWIR cameras. This unique LWIR camera also offers wide temperature calibration ranges, reducing the need for repeated testing to fully measure a high dynamic scene, and fast integration times. All five models produce sharp, 1280×1024 thermal pixel imagery for a 30% improvement over previous FLIR compact science cameras. Users can maximize the number of pixels on their target through a suite of lens options, from the 200-millimeter telephoto lens to the 3x microscope lens for imaging extremely small targets. The cameras’ quick response times and advanced triggering options help users record crisply focused images of fast-moving targets or accurately measure rapid changes in temperature. An internal filter mechanism allows the user to quickly switch between standard and high temperature ranges with a click of a button instead of manually changing neutral density filters.
To compliment these advanced features, FLIR designed the A8580 with simplified connections and controls so it’s easy to set-up and begin testing. The camera ramps up quickly and connects via Gigabit Ethernet or CoaXPress to a computer running FLIR Research Studio software. This included software allows users to view the live camera image, record the image stream, and evaluate thermal data from multiple FLIR cameras and recorded sources simultaneously.

FLIR A325 Researcher Infrared Camera
FLIR Systems, Inc.The affordable A325 - Researcher infrared camera is a highly affordable, accurate, plug and play intelligent solution for research and development applications. The A325 - Researcher is equipped with a 1000 MBit, RJ-45, Gigabit Ethernet connection with a data rate into the Researcher software of 60Hz. Ultra-compact the A325 - Researcher infrared camera system delivers razor-sharp thermal imaging and precise/repeatable non-contact temperature measurements from over 76,000 individual pixel elements that are sampled by the camera's on-board electronic and software to measure temperature. Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) and GigE Vision Control protocols allow you to simply connect the camera to a PC and instantly produce high resolution, near-real-time thermal images. The standard PC interface allows you to configure, command, control and collect full frame data quickly and easily. There are separate digital I/O connections to eliminate communication latencies in timing and control. Two types of optically isolated connections are provided. The GPIO allows digital-in for shutter disable, and digital-out for program control. There is also a V-sync connector for triggering and synchronization.
