Telops, leader in the field of high performance infrared cameras and hyperspectral imaging systems for the Defense and Security, Environmental, Oil and Gas, and Industrial markets, is pleased to announce recently the launch of its newest high performance infrared camera. The TEL-1000 MW InSb is a significant addition to Telops' innovative line of cooled infrared cameras. This expansion reinforces Telops' position as a leader in the high performance infrared camera market.

Currently shipping, the TEL-1000 MW InSb covers the 3.6 to 4.9 µm wavelength range, and can be customized to cover an extended range from 1.5 to 5 µm. As its famous predecessors, the FAST-IR 1000 and the HD-IR 1280, performance and ease of use have been ingeniously integrated into the camera's design.

The TEL-1000 MW InSb boasts the best combination between spatial resolution and frame rate on the market. Indeed, this affordable high performance camera can capture up to 200 frames per second at full frame (640 x 512 pixels) and up 600 frames per second when windowing (320 x 256 pixels) is used. Like the other Telops infrared cameras, it features patent pending Real-Time Processing and Real-Time Temperature Calibration algorithm, providing either raw or thermally calibrated data in real-time without any needs for external blackbodies. The TEL-1000 MW InSb can also be equipped with Automatic Exposure Control in order to adjust the exposure time according to the scene's dynamic temperature variations. These options allow the Telops infrared cameras to be customized to meet very specific applications. "This new addition to the TEL-1000 Infrared Camera Series makes observing dynamic events much easier than before. By combining real-time temperature calibration, real-time processing and non-uniformity correction into one powerful imaging tool, measurement campaigns become much more efficient. This high performance instrument eliminates the need for external blackbodies and takes infrared imaging to the next level'' says Frédérick Marcotte, Product Line Manager at Telops.
