FLIR Lenses

FLIR lenses are optical components designed for thermal imaging cameras produced by FLIR Systems. These lenses play a critical role in shaping the performance and capabilities of thermal cameras by influencing factors such as field of view, focal length, and image clarity. Here's an overview of FLIR lenses and their key features:

1. Field of View (FOV): FLIR lenses determine the width and height of the area captured by the thermal camera. Different lenses offer varying FOVs, ranging from wide-angle to telephoto, allowing users to tailor the camera's coverage to specific applications and distances.

2. Focal Length: The focal length of a lens determines its magnification and how far it can see in detail. FLIR lenses come in different focal lengths, enabling users to zoom in on distant objects or capture wide panoramic views, depending on their imaging needs.

3. Aperture: The aperture of a lens controls the amount of light entering the camera's sensor. FLIR lenses with larger apertures allow for better low-light performance and improved thermal sensitivity, particularly in challenging lighting conditions.

4. Compatibility: FLIR lenses are designed to be compatible with specific models of FLIR thermal cameras. They feature standardized mounting interfaces and locking mechanisms to ensure easy installation and secure attachment to the camera body.

5. Specialized Optics: FLIR offers a range of specialized lenses, including close-up lenses for macro imaging, wide-angle lenses for expansive coverage, and telephoto lenses for long-range observation. These lenses cater to various applications such as building inspections, surveillance, industrial monitoring, and research.

6. Material and Coatings: FLIR lenses are constructed from high-quality materials and may feature anti-reflective coatings to minimize glare and enhance image contrast. These optical enhancements contribute to sharper, clearer thermal images with reduced distortion and artifacts.

7. Interchangeability: Some FLIR thermal cameras feature interchangeable lens systems, allowing users to swap lenses to adapt to different imaging scenarios and requirements. This flexibility enhances the versatility and functionality of the camera platform.

8. Calibration: FLIR lenses are calibrated to ensure accurate temperature measurement and image quality across the entire field of view. Calibration processes may involve compensating for lens distortions, thermal drift, and other factors that could affect measurement accuracy.

Overall, FLIR lenses are essential accessories for FLIR thermal cameras, enabling users to customize their imaging systems for specific applications, distances, and environmental conditions. Whether for industrial maintenance, building diagnostics, security, or research, choosing the right FLIR lens is crucial for achieving optimal thermal imaging performance.

The FLIR 80-degree lens provides an unmatched wide field-of-view, giving you the ability to inspect large targets and in tight spaces. This lens is compatible with FLIR Exx, T5xx, T8xx, Axxx-Series Smart Sensor, Axxx-Series Imaging Streaming, and A500f/A700f Advanced Smart Sensor thermal cameras.
If you are adding this lens to your existing FLIR thermal camera, your camera will need to be shipped to the nearest FLIR service center for calibration.
