Infrared Cameras with Thermal Image-Enhancement Technology

FLIR T-Series adds visible-spectrum images to thermal spectrum

(FLIR: Portland, OR) -- FLIR Systems has unveiled the FLIR T420 and T440 thermal imagers. These high-performance infrared cameras enable imaging capabilities that help professionals find and capture problems more easily and with dramatically more vivid thermal images.

MSX thermal image enhancement

The T420 and T440 infrared cameras give users superior infrared imaging resolution that can reveal trouble spots. In addition to sharp thermal resolution at 76,800 pixels (320 x 240) for accurate diagnostics even from a distance, the T440 features MSX Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging, a FLIR exclusive. MSX adds the detail of real-time, visible-spectrum images captured by the built-in digital camera to thermal spectrum images, providing extraordinary sharpness, contrast, and clarity previously unavailable in thermal imaging. MSX instantly highlights where the problem area is for easier orientation to help customers and co-workers see what needs repairing.

Other versatile imaging capabilities include scalable picture-in-picture and thermal fusion for easier image identification and added context. Thermographers can also add voice and text comments to images, or sketch circles and arrows right on the touchscreen (T440). The T-series’ ergonomic rotating optical block swivels vertically up to 120°, making it easy to properly aim at targets without compromising your view of the  3.5-in. (89 mm) color touchscreen.

Powerful diagnostic tools simplify on-site analysis right from the screen. Analytics include Delta T, five measurement and box modes, isotherm, and more. The FLIR Tools Mobile app streams video and connects FLIR imagers to Apple and Android devices for improved client communication. For building-industry professionals, “bx” versions quickly alert users to moisture intrusion and insulation problems with humidity and insulation alarms. The T440 bx also improves documentation with a compass heading to improve location information.

The FLIR T-Series is available through distributors and retailers. Visit FLIR’s website for product information and to find a distributor.
