Product news

Teledyne FLIR has introduced the latest addition to its Blackfly S GigE camera lineup – the BFS-PGE-161S7M and BFSPGE -161S7C promise to deliver a high-resolution sensor in a compact form factor, superior price to performance ratio and exceptional low-light performance.

The 16 MP Sony IMX542 (Pregius S series) features back-illuminated sensor pixel (BSI) technology, significantly improved quantum efficiency (QE), reduced pixel sizes, and enables the use of less expensive and more compact optics. The new Blackfly S cameras also take advantage of a new Lossless Compression feature, delivering up to 60% higher frame rates without compromising on image quality.

This value-driven combination enables further cost reductions by replacing several low-resolution cameras with a single unit, delivering higher frame rates, lower bandwidth utilization and lower lighting system requirements. The new Blackfly S global shutter cameras with BSI technology are suitable for a range of applications – from PCB and semiconductor inspections to metrology and scientific research among several others. Read below for more detailed specs:

  • 16 MP global shutter enables precise measurement of large objects
  • Lossless Compression enables 60% higher FPS (from 7FPS to 12 FPS @ full resolution)
  • High QE and low noise yield a low Absolute Sensitivity Threshold (4.1 photon AST)
  • Superior quantum efficiency (69% QE @ 525nm)
  • Excellent low-light performance (2.34 e- read noise)
  • BSI pixels enable less expensive, more compact optics
  • High sensitivity (High QE and Low AST) reduces lighting system requirements
  • Replace multiple low-resolution cameras with this single high-resolution camera

FLIR GF620

FLIR Systems, Inc.

The FLIR GF620 is the first high-resolution, handheld camera from FLIR to detect methane and other volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. With its ground-breaking 640 x 480 resolution IR detector, inspectors can check thousands of components and safely scan for gases from greater distances. It's also the first FLIR OGI camera to offer Quantification mode (Q-Mode) for streamlined set-up of the optional QL320 gas quantification system.

BiosensorsBiosensors are devices used to detect an analyte using biological molecules specific to the analyte coupled to a detector. Biosensor instruments may be photometric, typically using surface plasma resonance (SPR), electrochemical or QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) biosensors. Biosensors should be selective, portable, robust and sensitive and have a fast response time. Systems may be manual or automated and usually have associated software.In Vivo Imaging Systems<i>In vivo</i> imaging systems, including pre-clinical imaging systems and medical imaging systems are used to non-invasively visualize and capture images of live animals and plants. Monitor the natural processes or diseases of your subjects using small-animal pre-clinical imaging systems, including single photon positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (micro-CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imagers. Multimodal systems and software solutions are also available for correlative analysis of organ, tissue, cell, or molecular-level processes.
