High Performance, Uncooled, Longwave Infrared (LWIR) OEM Thermal Camera Module
Boson®+ CZ 14-75
Made in the USA, and ITAR-free, the Boson+ CZ 14-75 combines Teledyne FLIR’s Boson+ world-class longwave infrared (LWIR) OEM camera module and 5x continuous zoom (CZ) lens offering a high–performance imaging solution. It features an industry-leading thermal sensitivity of ≤20 mK and an upgraded automatic gain control (AGC) filter delivering dramatically enhanced scene contrast and sharpness. The high-performance lens and control electronics maintain focus through zoom and provide real-time thermal gradient compensation as well as flexibility for user-defined command syntax and expansion for additional features.
