The perfect MWIR camera for the lab

Up to 9h of hold-time while in use

Utilizing the most advanced Indium Antimonide (InSb) focal plane array technology available, the LN2 cooled IRC800 Mid Wave Series features unmatched sensitivity, ultra-low noise, no blooming and no crosstalk. The IRC800 Series cameras offer the ultimate in flexibility for researchers and scientists. Camera operators can vary integration time, frame rate and window size.

A 1/3-liter LN2 pour-filled Dewar assembly maintains temperature for up to 20 hours unpowered and 9 hours powered which makes the IRC800 Series perfect for Scientific Imaging, Process Analysis and Quality Assurance.

Replaceable cold filter

Cold filters can be changed making the camera ideal for spectrally dependent applications. The IRC800 is the perfect instrument for prototyping system development or where application requirements may change. Simultaneous Camera Link, GigE and HDMI outputs are standard.

Optional 4-position cold filter wheel

As an option, a motorized four position cold filter wheel can be added (25.4mm diameter x 1.0mm thick filters), thus allowing various applications. The filters can easily be replaced by the user.

Super-framing allows the cameras to switch among different integration times on a frame by frame basis to capture rapidly changing scenes over a wide dynamic range.

Software options include our WinIRC application and a software developers kit to allow the user to acquire, display and analyze data from the IRC806 high definition camera.
