Sight Scope Long Wave Infrared Manual Focus Lens LWIR LENS

LWIR Lenses or Long-Wave Infrared Lenses are infrared lenses optimized for use from 8000 – 12000nm, the long wave infrared wavelength range. We manufacture high performance LWIR lenses for applications ranging from medical to industry to security and defense.

Application of Long Wave Infrared Lens

Since LWIR lenses transmit light that is invisible to the naked eye, LWIR cameras have a wide range of important applications.  Our lenses are used in thermal imaging systems to provide quality control in factories, to enable predictive maintenance in industrial settings, and to enable clear surveillance imaging in spite of smoke or fog.  They can be used for gas leak detection, allowing potentially dangerous situations to be evaded before they become problematic.  In medical applications, an LWIR lens and thermal imaging provides a non-invasive, reliable way to detect temperature change on a cellular level, enabling medical professionals to detect abnormalities and assess a wide variety of conditions, including breast cancer, brain tumor, diabetes, and burn trauma.

People also ask

• What is an IR lens?
  IR Lenses are optical lenses that use specific substrates or anti-reflection coatings to maximize performance for applications operating above 700nm including thermal imaging, FLIR, or spectroscopy. The infrared spectrum refers to 700 – 16000nm wavelengths.
• Is IR the same as night vision?
  In conclusion, while both night vision and infrared technologies are used to improve visibility in low-light environments, their underlying concepts and applications differ. Infrared technology detects thermal radiation to create a visible image, whereas night vision amplifies available light to make a visible image
• What is better for coyote hunting thermal or night vision?
  Thermal allows for much faster follow up shots, while night vision allows you to maintain clear aim points and allows for precision shots. There are tradeoffs to everything in this sport, you just must try and decide what would best fit your need and stand requirements.
