thermovision™ a20-M + Researcher™

Affordable infrared imaging and measurement package for scientific applications

The ThermoVision A40-M + Researcher package offers an affordable but accurate measurement solution for Research & Development applications. It can detect subtle temperature variations that can signal significant component or design problems.

Extremely easy to operate, the user intuitive ThermoVision A40-M helps you clearly understand the thermal characteristics of products and processes. It delivers the critical information needed to cost-effectively solve design problems and improve reliability.

Affordable Research Package
The ThermoVision A40-M + Researcher Package consists of a rugged IR camera and the ThermaCAM Researcher Software. It provides an affordable, flexible and powerful solution for real-time thermal analysis.

Precision Non-Contact Temperature Measurement and Excellent Image Quality
The ThermoVision A40-M allows you to see temperature differences as small as 0.08 °C in a range from -40 °C up to +2,000 °C. It produces crisp high-resolution images (320 x 240 pixels) offering more than 76,800 individual measurement points per image at a refresh rate of 50/60 Hz.

IEEE-1394 Firewire Output
Enhanced connectivity options include composite video and IEEE-1394 interface for superfast image and data transfer of real-time, fully radiometric 16-bit images.

Easy Operation : Plug and Play
Simply connect the camera to a PC or a monitor and produce high-quality real-time radiometric images. The camera can be fully controlled either from the PC or with the integrated keyboard.

Integrated Keyboard
For those applications where the infrared camera and the PC are a distance away from each other, the ThermoVision A40-M has an integrated keyboard. With a few buttons, conveniently placed at the top of the camera, you can control all features.

Ultra-Compact, Rugged and Lightweight
Compact and extremely lightweight, this portable yet powerful research device fits easily on your bench. It can be carried to other test or hard-to-get-at locations for fast, mobile data acquisition and analysis in the lab or on the manufacturing floor.

Tailored to Your Application
As with all its products, FLIR Systems offers a complete series of accessories, including close-up and wide-angle lenses, to suit the most demanding applications.

Thermacam Researcher : Powerful, Real-Time Storage and Analysia Software
ThermaCAM Researcher has been developed for use in scientific environments where detailed thermal analysis of dynamic events is required. It offers powerful built-in measurement and analysis functions (isotherms, spot measurements, line profiles, area histograms, image subtraction capability, etc.) for fast and extensive temperature analysis.
