Integrated Multispectral Imaging
FLIR MIX is a multispectral imaging system that combines infrared (thermal) and visible light imaging, synchronizing both spatially and temporally. The result is a single, integrated image containing both accurate thermal data and visual information, eliminating the need for manual alignment or post-processing. This integration significantly accelerates R&D workflows: researchers can control both the thermal and visible cameras from a single workstation, and all data is stored in one synchronized file, saving time and simplifying analysis.
Comprehensive Visual and Thermal Insights
The combination of visual and thermal data provides a comprehensive view of experiments and tests. Shapes, deformations, and textures are clearly visible, while heat distribution, hotspots, and thermal anomalies are easily detected. This capability allows early identification of thermal issues in electronic components, batteries, energy systems, or solar panels.
Streamlined Data Processing
FLIR MIX streamlines data processing: tasks that previously required hours of manual alignment, synchronization, and correction are now automated and highly accurate. The system also offers real-time or post-test analysis using the FLIR Toolkit, further simplifying workflows and improving the speed and reliability of R&D insights.
Typical Applications
Typical applications include:
- Electronic Testing: PCBs, components, and assemblies benefit from combined visual and thermal inspection.
- Material Stress Testing: Monitor deformations and thermal behavior under stress conditions.
- Energy and Solar System Inspections: Detect hotspots and performance issues in batteries, solar panels, or energy systems.
- Dynamic Experiments: Capture rapid events with up to 1,004 frames per second, providing synchronized visual and thermal documentation.
Benefits for Advanced Sensor Projects
For professionals working with advanced sensors or hyperspectral cameras, FLIR MIX offers:
- Combined visual and thermal demonstrations for clearer communication of results.
- Systematic documentation of experiments, facilitating analysis and reporting.
- Integration into R&D, testing, and quality assurance pipelines.
By saving time, simplifying scientific workflows, and enabling early detection of physical or thermal issues, FLIR MIX enhances efficiency and insight in complex projects.
