The terms spontaneous emission and stimulated emission sometimes get confused. The term thermal emission sometimes gets thrown into the mix as well. Here are the basic definitions to help sort things out and the procedures for measuring these parameters. When we speak of spontaneous or stimulated emissions we are referring to atoms whose electrons are […]
Infrared cameras for PCB development and diagnosis
Infrared cameras can help size up the surface temperatures of electronic components, PCBs, and other objects to reveal unseen problems. ALAN J. LOWNE, SAELIG CO. INC. Thermal imagers, also called infrared cameras, capture a 2-D representation of objects in front of their germanium optics (ordinary optical glass impedes IR wavelengths). They present a visible version […]
Infrared cameras include Matlab, LabVIEW plug-ins
New Fluke RSE300 and RSE600 Infrared Cameras are said to be the first fully-radiometric, fixed-mount cameras from Fluke with advanced features including Matlab and LabVIEW software plug-ins to easily analyze thermal data. The RSE300 and RSE600 cameras continuously stream up-to-60 frames of data per second, allowing for detailed monitoring of temperature patterns and variances. With […]
Cloud-based professional thermal cameras handle pre-fire detection
The Fotric 123 Infrared Thermal Camera is the world’s first cloud-based smart infrared camera designed for visual early fire detection that offers real-time data transmission. The Fotric 123 can be permanently situated indoors or outdoors to detect abnormal changes in heat conditions and send early fire alert warnings via an internet connection before a fire […]
Economical smartphone-based thermal cameras record up to 1,000 frames of full radiometric video
The Fotric 220 Series Thermal Cameras are infrared imaging devices that combine state-of-the-art infrared technology with smartphone capabilities. These cameras can record up to 1,000 frames of full radiometric video and capture temperature change processes in real time with a user-defined sampling rate of up to 5 frames/sec. Up to 640×480-pixel resolution is available and […]
Thermal Imaging camera handles quick temperature checks on PCBs, small electronics
Newark element14, the Development Distributor, is now shipping the new FLIR ETS320 Thermal Imaging camera, designed for quick temperature checks on printed circuit boards and other small electronics in the laboratory and accurate quality assurance and factory acceptance testing. Heat can be an important factor in understanding how a system is functioning and the FLIR […]
