A Long wave IR image showing heat as white IR has long been a staple of military capabilities but as uncooled detectors become more prominent, commercial applications expand, and over the years BFE’s experience has allowed them to make some of the most capable Readout Integrated Circuits (ROICs) available. We have also designed micro and nano sized IR camera modules.  View details about our Blackfire camera system here.
