Thermal Imaging Microscope for Research and Development
Applications
MEMS
In the development of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) such as microreactors, micro
heat exchange systems, microactuators, and microsensors, spatial temperature distribution and
thermal response time are among the most important parameters. Because a non-contact approach
is required to measure the temperature of MEMS components, Micro
is a powerful tool for microscopic temperature characterization, providing detailed thermal images with
up to 5μm/pixel spatial resolution. The thermal image on the
right displays an area on a micro heater that is 6.4mm in width.
Electro-optical Devices
The continued growth in applications like fiber optic
communications is leading to greater demands on
electro-optical devices such as laser diodes, regarding
power requirements and thermal dissipation. Micro
provides an effective method to analyze the thermal
performance of device materials and thermal substrates.
Miniature Medical Devices
When testing small medical devices such as catheter heating coils,
the temperature distribution and
thermal response time are important in characterizing their
performance. Micro offers an accurate non-contact
measurement method with up to 5μm/pixel spatial resolution.
The thermal image on the right displays a miniature coil
element that is 500 microns in diameter.
