Abstract
The IR SnapShotTM camera is an uncooled, handheld imaging radiometer designed primarily for the predictive and preventive maintenance market. It employs a linear thermoelectric array to scan the focal plane of a germanium lens, thereby producing a 120 by 120 pixel image with an instantaneous field of view (IFOV) of 2.8 by 2.8 mrad, an overall field of view (FOV) of 20 degrees by 20 degrees, a frame time of 1.44 sec, a noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) no greater than 0.2 C, and a radiometrically calibrated dynamic range up to 500 C.
