Cameras, measuring thermographic imagers

Base prices range from 7,000 to 25,000 for basic field-portable cameras and up to 70,000 for special high-resolution imagers. The addition of special lenses and computer-based diagnostic software packages can increase the price to well in excess of 100,000. 

Performance parameters continue to improve. Where the measurements are made under controlled or laboratory conditions, extremely accurate and dependable measurements result. One model, the QFI InfraScope III, provides true temperature measurement on microelectronics targets with full field emissivity compensation and spot sizes down to 2.5 pm. On some portable models of FPA imagers, it is currently possible to achieve thermal resolution better than 15 mK (milliKelvins) (0.015°C) with imaging spatial resolution better than 3 pm on live targets.
