Teledyne FLIR Introduces Thermal Imaging Kit for Research Laboratories

Teledyne FLIR has introduced the new FLIR A40 Research & Development Kit, designed for universities, research centers, and academic laboratories. The new solution brings radiometric thermal imaging capabilities to a broader audience at a more accessible price point, making thermal analysis more readily available to students and researchers. The kit is intended for teaching laboratories, shared facilities, and applied research projects across a wide range of disciplines.

Alongside the FLIR A50 and FLIR A70 models, the new kit provides precise temperature measurements across thousands of points, helping simplify electronics testing and accelerate product development. The cameras offer resolutions of 320 × 240, 464 × 348, and 640 × 480 pixels, with thermal sensitivity below 50 mK and a frame rate of 30 Hz. Equipped with uncooled microbolometer detectors, they support temperature ranges from -20°C to 1,000°C, depending on the model.

Users can view, record, analyze, and share thermal data using the included FLIR Research Studio software, while support for industry-standard interfaces enables integration into custom applications. The new solutions are aimed at engineers and technicians seeking a deeper understanding of their systems’ thermal characteristics and reliable data to support product development and optimization.
