FLIR Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) announces a new microscopy stand that enables its SC5000 Cooled IR Camera to provide an unmatched complete solution for infrared microscopy research applications in electronics, biotechnology and nanotechnology. The new microscopy stand together with a X5 macro lens, when used with a FLIR SC5000 Series camera, provides spatial resolution down to 3 microns / pixel - without loss of dynamics or measurement accuracy.

The FLIR SC5000 Series is specifically designed for the most demanding users of IR technology, who want to perform thermal imagery at high spatial resolution with the highest sensitivity and accuracy at an affordable cost. With a choice of 320x240 or 640x512 pixels format InSb focal plane array delivers respectively an outstanding 100 or 380 Hz frame rate while keeping extraordinary linearity and sensitivity figures. The use of our FLIR's latest read out integrated circuit technology provides low noise and high pixel rate without compromising sensitivity. The FLIR SC5000 Series is truly plug & play using either GigE or CAMLINK interfaces to transmit both commands and full dynamic range digital video. Its autofocus embedded lens allows to easily setup the camera.

The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
