How to Use InfiRay Thermal Scope

To Know An InfiRay Thermal Imaging Scope


A thermal scope is an ocular device that can be held, strapped to a helmet, environmental protection mask, fire arm or many other devices. A thermal scope allows the user to see in darkness, smoke, rain or fog. Its design purpose was for military forces to use during night operations but there are also many civilian applications as well.


Unlike image enhancement (the green light night vision devices), they do not rely on any light sources. A thermal imager gathers the infrared energy that is emitted by objects and then produces the image. The quality is much clearer than image enhancement technology. They scopes can be cooled or uncooled. The uncooled variety is the most common. They can be operated at ambient temperatures and are more portable. The uncooled thermal scopes rely on a cryocooler to mute any thermal noise created from the scope. The result is a much crisper image with incredible detail. This type of technology is quite expensive and the higher resolution models are not currently available for sale. Property owners are starting to utilize this technology for many reasons. As a security option, it adds an extra layer of protection to camera monitoring systems. Some models can see farther than 20 miles and since they do not emit any light, they are nearly impossible to detect. It can easily see into the darkest corners or spot intruders hiding in debris or foliage. Many homeowners concerned about their heating or air conditioning bills hire energy auditors who use them to locate the cracks where the air is escaping. They can also be used to spot any effluents leaks from the structure or even condensation spots to aid in mold eradication.

They can be found at all levels of society. They are commonly used in search and rescue operations. Firefighters can benefit from the use of a thermal scope in situations where rooms are filled with smoke. There are many useful purposes for them in medical research as well. Some airports have started adding thermal technology to their security systems to screen passengers for high body temperatures which could be a sign of a contagious virus such as the H1N1. Archeologists use thermal scopes in aerial searches for ruins and even paranormal investigators are using them these days. As thermal scope technology continues to improve, we will start see even more exciting applications.

More than a thermal scope: review of InfiRay DL13

Image
The InfiRay DV DL13 is an innovative line of compact thermal imaging monoculars . These pocket-sized devices are excellent when trying to observe cryptic species or when surveying in dark or foggy conditions. The InfiRay DL13 uses a 384 x 288 thermal sensor to detect and night vision devices this process is not determinant on light conditions and the scope can be used in bright exposure as well as at night. The thermal sensor has a dramatically reduced pixel pitch of 17µm, which results in images with smoother edges, more detailed thermal mapping and an improved ability to detect objects compared to an equivalent sized sensor with a 20µm pixel pitch. InfiRay DV series features fast germanium 13mm with 0.85x native magnification manual focus and up to 4x digital zoom, instant start up, 5 color palette modes including popular "Black Hot" and "White Hot". Features such as instant start up means you can quickly use the device when necessary. The InfiRay DL13 is designe...

User Experience of InfiRay HOLO Series

A Brief Review of InfiRay Thermal Scope HL13 My buddies have other brand products that I've used, both 384 and 640 units and I'm quite familiar with their qualities and quirks as a comparison. I purchased this immediately after Christmas and I've had this in the field 3-4 times now and it's awesome!   Rock solid mount, never freezes (knock on wood) and the battery life with CR123 batteries has been STELLAR. It takes a while to get used to the auto-nuc feature, but I like it. You can also select manual calibration while you want to. Consider with the tiny model size, this scope done well in detecting thermal target for mid to long distance. Recently I've been able to positively ID hogs at 500 yards, which beats my friend's 384 unit all over the place.   All functions are intuitive and easy to use, even though there are basically only two buttons to manipulate its menu. You can simply find major functions via pushing and pressing one button. Some unique fu...

Saim Series, the best choice in its price level

Image
Review of InfiRay Saim SCT35 InfiRay comes up a lot in the thermal scopes conversation because their gear is popular and receives positive reviews. The Saim SCT35 by InfiRay indicates strong trends: the reliable thermal camera, clear image quality and solid build quality. First up: let's have a look at its lens quality. Saim SCT35 equipped with a germanium lens that's fully multi-coated with an infrared-transmitting coating. The raw infrared light that reaches the sensor is as pure as possible, and generates a very clean image. Next: electronic image quality. The camera produces 384x288 resolution heat map from sensor, that's displayed on a 1280x960 LCOS screen, so you get a great image that you can work with, and will hold up to years of use. Both size of sensor resolution and display screen are top ranked among thermal scopes alike. The display can be set to one of 4 color modes to help with target acquisition in different environments. There are also four levels of cont...
