Why choose Xenics - Bobcat?
Excellent image quality
The thermoelectric cooling ensures that the sensor has excellent low noise and low dark current characteristics. This perfectly supports imaging with long exposure times.
Wide coverage of wavelengths
The camera can be supplied with a 0.9 μm to 1.7 μm sensitivity range or an optional VisNIR version from 0.4 μm to 1.7 μm for extended flexibility.
High speeds on industry standard interfaces
The camera offers frequencies from 100 to 400 images per second and transfers its data with either CameraLink or GigE Vision. Thanks to these standardised industrial imaging interfaces, a wide variety of Common Vision Blox software tools can be used for data processing.
Flexible configuration options
The Xenics Bobcat 320 uncooled camera is an affordable option for SWIR imaging. Output options range from CameraLink through GigE. A gated model exists which offers an integration time down to 80 ns making this an ideal camera for imaging of very hot or fast moving objects.
Xeneth: Graphical user interface to setup, control, record and measure temperature
Xeneth allows for easy set-up and control of infrared cameras and acquisition of images. All IR camera control settings can be optimised by the user. Xeneth software is supplied with every Xenics camera for easy set-up and control of the camera.
