1 INTRODUCTION

The ThermoVision® Micron or ThermoVision® A10 is a long-wavelength (7.5 – 13.5 microns)
uncooled microbolometer camera designed for infrared imaging applications that demand absolute
minimum size, weight, and power consumption. It is available with five different lens options:
8.5mm focal length (55° x 41° field of view), 11mm focal length (40° x 30°), 18 mm (25° x 19°),
30 mm (15° x 11°) or 50 mm (9° x 7°). The camera provides "power-in, video-out" capability,
which means that one need only apply input voltage to receive analog video. However, for
applications demanding more advanced control, Micron/A10 includes a serial interface (RS-232)
and Control Panel software for transmitting camera commands and receiving status.
Micron/A10 also provides an optional digital data interface via parallel, firewire or ethernet
interface.
