FLIR X6980 SLS™

Model: FLIR X6981 SLS (7.5–12 µm), f/2.5 Go to Product Support

The FLIR X6980 SLS is an extraordinarily fast longwave IR camera designed for scientists and engineers who need to capture high-speed imagery for accurate thermal analysis and custom radiometric measurements. This thermal imaging camera combines 640 × 512 resolution from the SLS detector with the fastest high-speed frame rates to offer the shorter snapshot speeds and wider temperature bands needed to record crisp stop motion images of high-speed events. With a four-position motorized filter wheel and support for FLIR motorized focus lenses, the X6980 SLS will provide high quality recordings, save time, and mitigate frustration in dynamic acquisition environments.

  • High Speed, High Sensitivity

    Capture full 640 × 512 imagery at up to 1004 Hz, with integration times that are 10x shorter than MWIR InSb cameras (ambient temperatures)

  • On-Camera RAM and SSD Recording

    Save up to 26,000 frames of data directly to on-camera memory or up to 15 minutes to included 512 GB SSD

  • Multiple Software Interfaces

    Stream thermal data directly to a computer to view, record, and analyze with FLIR Research Studio
