MWIR spectral camera

Thermal hyperspectral imaging provides information that cannot be achieved by conventional spectral imagers. Most materials have characteristic spectral signatures in the MWIR (3 - 5 µm) and/or LWIR (8 - 12 µm) spectral range. A broader range of materials can be detected, mapped and sorted in these spectral regions, leading to significantly higher specificity over the VNIR and SWIR imaging systems.

Chemical imaging based on SWIR imagers is reliable for clear and colored material sorting, failing with black and dark grey plastics. Carbon black used absorbs radiation at all SWIR wavelengths preventing detection of the base materialís spectral signatures. Automated black plastic sorting is possible with Specim MWIR imager. The technology is adaptable to real-time machine vision applications within the industry.

SPECIM MWIR is designed for industrial applications with illuminated or higher temperature targets. It employs innovative technology exploiting the benefits of reflective and refractive optics to achieve highest performance in a compact device.
