Swine Flu & Thermal Imaging

The new outbreak of Swine Flu is causing wide spread panic and is creating a massive increase in enquiries for thermal imaging cameras.
Unfortunately there are so many unscrupulous people around who, as during the SARS outbreak, will sell anything to make a quick buck.
The low end thermal imaging cameras are not suitable for medical applications and are designed for electrical/mechanical maintenance applications where a few degrees either way is not important.
Potential buyers should exercise caution when choosing a camera and must make sure the resolution is good enough for the task.
Potential sellers should be careful not to sell to the many enquirers wanting to pay by credit card...invariably the card turns out to be stolen!

If you want to know which cameras are suitable...ask!

ULTRA FAST Temperature Measurement

The KLEIBER range of infrared pyrometers can measure temperatures from 160°C at speeds of just 6µ seconds!
With a choice of standard lens or fibre optics, these pyrometers are world beaters.
No other instruments can match the speed and accuracy of these ultra fast pyrometers.

Thermal Imager- Small Size!

The new MikroSHOT Thermal Imager is not only one of the smallest cameras avaialble, it is also packed with features.

Its 160 x 120 pixel detector ensures excellent temperature data and it has an integral visual camera as well.

A unique feature is the ability to measure temperature on a visual image, ideal for finding hot spots on equipment without trying to decypher a thermal picture.

When used as a standard thermal imager its's automatic mode ensures a perfect image every time.

Both the thermal image and the visual image are saved to the memory card at the press of a button...Simple!

The software supplied is a professional package with full analysis and report generating features.

New Dual Range Thermal Imager

Mikron M7604F Pro & M7604G Pro Infrared Imaging Camera

Dual-Spectral Range Thermal Imagers
Two cameras in one.
Dual function infrared camera with the specialized filtering for seeing through flames or imaging glass surfaces.The Mikron M7604F and M7604G represent another milestone in innovative infrared thermometry. This fully-radiometric camera with its high-temperature functionality makes it the perfect tool for measuring the inside temperature of furnaces and boilers. The Mikron M7604 is ergonomically designed for comfortable one-handed point-and-shoot operation, includes on-board digital voice recording, and can simultaneously record high-definition 14-bit thermal images with digital visual images. The Mikron M7604 is completely self-contained in a splash-proof metal case, is battery operated, and stores images and data to PCMCIA cards. Images can also be viewed in real-time via the video output or through an optional built-in IEEE 1394 (Firewire ®) interface. The MikroScan M7604 comes standard with extensive onboard image processing software. It also can be remotely controlled from a PC using optional software developed by Mikron, which provides additional analysis and reporting capabilities

Selecting an Infrared Thermometer or Thermal Imaging Camera

With so many choices of Infrared Thermometers and Thermal Imaging Cameras available from so many companies, it is no wonder it is difficult to decide which one to buy.

SOLUTION: Ask an expert!

If you have a query about non-contact temperature measurement, ASK ME!
You will receive a honest and technically correct answer.

With around 30 years in the business I will give you my recommendation based on real experience. You can then buy an instrument from one of my recommended suppliers or go to one of your choice....
