Specim LWIR - Science fiction here today

Even on a pitch dark night - in ambient temperatures, even sub freezing or tropical conditions; SPECIMís LWIR-C is able to perform chemical imaging!

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 ranges, leading to significantly higher specificity over the VNIR and SWIR imaging systems.

Specimís high-sensitivity LWIR-C and industrial LWIR-HS imagers employ innovative technology exploiting the benefits of reflective and refractive optics to achieve the highest performance in a compact device.

Spectral Camera LWIR HS integrates an uncooled detector and optics. It is a compact (only 3.5 kg) and versatile tool for a wide variety of applications.

HS (high sensitivity model)

Covers the spectral range 8 - 12 µm. It has 30 spectral bands and spectral sampling of 200 nm. With a good sensitivity and moderate spectral resolution, HS is suitable for many industrial and Chemical Imaging applications.

C model
For the most demanding ground-based remote sensing and security applications, SPECIM has integrated a state-of-the-art temperature stabilised LWIR imaging spectrograph with the highest sensitivity cooled MCT detector.

The LWIR C spectral camera covers the spectral range 8 to 12  µm with high spectral selectivity of 84 bands (sampling of 48 nm) and extensive speeds of up to 100 images per second.
