and saving bench space. Aven’s scientifi c-grade optical instrument has a 1/3-inch two- megapixel CMOS sensor, digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry and four resolution settings.
Video microscopy allows quick, precise inspections of manufactured parts, circuit boards, surface mount technology and other products. Aven’s high-speed camera delivers 50-60fps and has freeze-frame capability to show defects. It also includes a cross-hair cursor for measurement and a low lux setting for reduced light situations. Adjustments are available for black-and-white video, automatic exposure or manual, and negative image for greater contrast. It attaches to an eyepiece or trinocular phototube with a C- or CS-mount. In addition to QC reviews of industrial parts and semiconductor devices, the camera is useful for live training demonstrations via a CCTV monitor.

For high-temperature applications
Land Instruments has released the FTI-E 1000 thermal imaging camera, suitable for high-temperature applications. Operating at 1µm, the instrument combines high-resolution thermal imaging with accurate temperature measurement from 600 to 3,000°C, over four models. The high-resolution detector array coupled with precision optics means the camera can resolve targets as small as 0.013mm2
. The camera has a form
factor compatible with existing System 4 and UNO mountings, allowing it to be used in applications where traditionally an accurate and reliable measurement necessitated a short-wave single-point pyrometer. The other key benefi ts include high temperature measurement accuracy to optimise process control, simple installation, and two-year guarantee of reliability. In addition,
there is a choice of close-up lenses to ensure the camera exactly matches the application.
Land’s dedicated software enables live images and video to be captured. Many other image capture facilities enhance the software including: timed acquisition, full range of temperature measurements (point, rectangle, polygon, isotherm, histogram and area) plus colour palette choices, and a range of alarm functions. The FTI-E 1000 is ideally suited to many applications including steel concaster, boilers, cement kilns, pipe welding, glass furnaces, liquid metal, coating processes, wire mills and semiconductor crystal growth.

For inspection at production plants
Building on the success of the GasFindIR camera for detecting gas leaks, Flir Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) has introduced the dual- purpose Flir GF320 camera, which can additionally be used for thermal inspections at plants.
The heart of the camera is still the same, but the GF320 is also fully radiometric, meaning that it can detect, measure and visualise temperature. Hotspots are a useful indicator of malfunction or possible malfunction, and the early identifi cation of them can help to nip a problem in the bud before serious malfunction occurs, generating potentially substantial savings by minimising downtime and repair costs. The camera can be used to inspect facilities such as mechanical and process plant, where temperature irregularities can indicate deviation from normal function, and also electrical equipment such as circuit boards, transformers and power lines.
