Polytec presents the Atom 1024 microbolometer camera from US manufacturer Sofradir-EC. The camera for the long-wave infrared range can be operated at an XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with a frame rate of 30 fps or alternatively in VGA resolution with 640 x 480 pixels and 60 fps. Low power consumption, compact dimensions and low weight make them interesting for mobile applications, handheld devices and OEM use. The uncooled microbolometer array has a spectral sensitivity of 8 to 14 μm and a thermal sensitivity of <50 mK. The short thermal time constant is 10 ms. Optional GigE, Cameralink or LVTTL interface, numerous lenses with different fields of view, focal lengths and focusing types ensure flexibility in applications.
