A new article from FLIR Advanced Thermal Solutions presents a selection of the major applications for which NIR cameras are particularly well-suited. NIR cameras, which are sensitive to the near-infrared spectrum (0.9 to 1.7 µm) are increasingly found in research laboratories, design departments and on factory production lines. Used to view phenomena that cannot be observed with 'thermal' (MWIR/LWIR) imaging systems, NIR cameras have many advantages.
