The shortwave infrared thermal imager is a device used to detect and display the temperature distribution on the surface of an object. It captures the heat distribution of an object using infrared radiation and converts it into a visible image, which is typically displayed as different colors or brightness levels representing different temperature zones.
The shortwave infrared thermal imager typically detects infrared radiation in the range of 1 to 3 micrometers, which is referred to as the shortwave infrared region. Compared to longwave infrared thermal imagers, shortwave infrared thermal imagers are more suitable for detecting high temperature objects because they can provide higher temperature resolution.
This type of thermal imager has various applications, including:
Industrial inspections: Used to monitor the heat distribution of machinery, circuit boards, etc., in order to detect faults or issues early.
Construction and maintenance: Used to detect hazards in buildings, such as water leaks, insulation issues, and electrical faults.
Firefighting and rescue: Used in search and rescue operations to help locate fire sources or trapped individuals.
Military and security: Used for night vision and reconnaissance tasks, as well as monitoring borders and security facilities.
Medical: Used for thermal diagnostics and disease detection, such as detecting abnormal body temperature or tumor hotspots.
The shortwave infrared thermal imager is a versatile device that can be used for monitoring and analyzing heat distribution in many fields.
