Micros

LWIR Thermal Imaging Microscope

Up until now, only MWIR cameras could offer microscopic temperature distributions with pixel resolutions under 10µm, but at a steep price.  Released in 2024, Micros is the low-cost thermal imaging microscope that changes that.  View and analyze microscopic temperature distributions on devices with features down to 3µm in size.  Use Micros in fields such as electronics, MEMS, medical, and materials. 


Optotherm's "systems" are turnkey solutions, in that we provide components such as linear stages, brackets, breadboards, enclosures, etc. to produce a full analysis system.  The base Micros "system" includes the camera, desired lenses, camera positioning system, and software.  Optional components can be added for additional functionality.

LW320-12 Lenses

Lens Specifications

The name of each lens represents the dimensions of the area on the target that is imaged onto each detector pixel. Therefore, each pixel in the resulting image for the 10µm lens will represent an area on the target that is 10 x 10 µm.
