Uncooled Infrared Camera; Ir-Fusion Image - Fluke TiR32 Manual

Uncooled infrared camera

There are two types of infrared camera, cooled and uncooled. Fluke TiR32
is the uncooled camera. This kind of camera use a sensor which is
operating at normal temperature, or a sensor stabilized at a temperature
close to ambient using small temperature control elements. All of the
modern un-cooled detectors use sensors that work in according with the
change of resistance voltage , or current . In order to reduce image noise,
un-cooled infrared sensors can be stabilized to an operating temperature,
while they are not cooled down to low temperatures and do not require
bulky, expensive coolers. This provides smaller and less costly infrared
cameras. However, their resolution and image quality might be lower than
cooled detectors. This is due to differences in their fabrication processes,
which limited because of lack of needed technology.

IR-fusion image

IR-Fusion® technology enables the camera to capture both the visible
light image and infrared image at the same time. It is very beneficial in
terms of identifying and reporting suspected components and make the
repair process easier, you can combine both digital and infrared thermal
images for better clarity. This allows you to easily see, document, and
address problems uncovered through your thermal imaging work. Fluke's
unique technology provides pixel-for-pixel alignment of the digital and
infrared thermal images, allowing you unlimited options in optimizing your
on-camera and off-camera analysis. The images to the right show
matched images.
