FLIR ThermaCAM SC6000 MWIR

The AES MED Group has obtained a FLIR ThermaCAM SC6000 MWIR imaging system whose features are described below. Under very controlled circumstances, this equipment may be utilized at the APS beamlines. Requests for use need to be submitted and approved before MED Staff resources can be allocated to accompany the hardware. Special consideration is required to accommodate various optical and electrical hardware used with this system. As such, advanced coordination with the MED group must occur before any requests can be honored.

640 x 512 focal plane array (FPA) fabricated by hybridizing an Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector array to an readout integrated circuit (ROIC) array

Measurement range from -20°C to 1500°C

Temperature sensitivity better than 25 milliKelvin

50 Megapixels per second data rate with 14-bit digital image data
