HDR Function

Display of Large Temperature Ranges Simultaneously

The HDR function enables thermograms with different integration times and filters to be created in quick succession and combined into a single image with large temperature differences.

MicroScan feature ImageIR

Micro­Scan – Quad­ruple the Image Format

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.
