Crisp, Detailed Thermal Images
The FLIR T530 produces thermal images with detail of 320 x 240 pixels, which means images captured on the T530 have 76,800 pixels worth of temperature data. Images are fully radiometric, so you can hone in on an exact pixel in the image to measure specific temperature levels.
Include FLIR MSX, a unique mode which blends together digital and thermal images to increase the level of detail in a thermal image. FLIR's UltraMax mode is also included; this enhances (using the software included) the resolution of captured images via unique FLIR image processing techniques up to a resolution with 307, 200 effective pixels worth of temperature data!
Your images are also further enhanced thanks to laser-assisted autofocusing. The built-in laser pointer calculates distances, then the image automatically compensates itself so you always get the best image.
The laser pointer can also be used to actually calculate distances to your target.
Thermal Imaging Made Easy with 180° Rotating Optical Block
With the FLIR T530's built-in 180° rotating optical block, grabbing quality thermal images at even the most tricky angles is made easy. The rotating block can move completely up and down over a 180° angle, allowing you to easily angle the camera's lens below or above you without you needing to crane your neck. The display remains level at all times, so you can simply rotate the lens as needed to get the best possible angle.
Images are displayed on the bright and vivid 4-inch capacitive touch screen in exceptional levels of detail. The screen is scratch-resistant and 33% brighter and 4 x the resolution of many other comparable cameras available on the market.
You can even make access to your most commonly used features easier thanks to the inclusion of two fully programmable buttons.
Auto-Calibrating Interchangeable Lenses
Available as standard with various lens types (also available for purchase separately), the FLIR T530 allows you to instantly swap out lenses to cater for different applications. Whether you need a wide angle lens for wide shots or a close-up telephoto lens, just remove the old lens and replace with the new one quickly and seamlessly.
Every lens will also automatically calibrate itself - the camera will auto detect which lens is attached and adjust itself accordingly, ensuring all image quality is maintained and there's no effort required from you when swapping out lenses.
If you are interested in more information about additional lenses for your FLIR T530 please feel free to call our sales department for availability, pricing or any questions you might have about the lenses' capabilities.
