Multi Integration Time (MIT) and its Advantages

To measure temperatures spanning more than one calibration range requires the acquisition of multiple thermograms with different calibrations. This can be achieved by using our Multi Integration Time feature (MIT).

The MIT function increases the dynamic range up to 16 bit and significantly extends the temperature measurement ranges. Measurement objects with large temperature gradients can be recorded with one measurement range while maintaining the maximum image refresh rate and temperature resolution. 

With constant aperture / filter setting, different integration times can be selected for up to four calibration ranges and combined with these to form a total range. The system calibration can remain unchanged. Manual switching of the measurement range becomes dispensable as well. 

But MIT is limited to a temperature range defined by the calibrations with the same filter settings. The HDR feature breaks free of these limitations, changing the filters on a frame‐to‐frame basis with up to 350 Hz. Thus, calibration ranges spanning more than 1,000 °C can be realised.

MicroScan feature ImageIR

Micro­Scan – Quad­ruple the Image Format

Get further inform­a­tion about Micro­Scan

Behind the function is a fast-rotating MicroScan wheel, which is integrated into the camera. It ensures that four different individual exposures are taken per wheel revolution, which are offset laterally by half a pixel each. In this way, thermography achieves a new quality due to thermal images providing a quadrupled spatial resolution.
