Fairfield, NJ (PRWEB) May 17, 2006 -- Electrophysics® has introduced EZTherm XP, an advanced thermal imaging camera designed to enhance the analytical capabilities of the most demanding infrared systems user. The new IR camera introduces an advanced visible and thermal video fusion feature ideal for those applications where visible image details are important to image interpretation and analysis. The powerful image fusion function gives users the ability to mix infrared and visible imagery into real-time fused video making it easier to visualize temperature related problems in a wide range of objects. User-friendly controls allow the operator to adjust between 100% thermal and 100% visible and new auto-thermal scaling enables the display of thermal detail within a user-specified temperature range overlaid on high-quality video. Additionally, the camera includes the ability to adjust image registration in X-Y position as well as magnification, perfect for critical image alignment applications.

One of a new class of powerful portable thermography systems available today, the EZTherm XP is ideal for a number of applications, including facility maintenance, process control, test and measurement, R&D, building diagnosis and public health screening. The EZTherm XP produces stunning thermal images at 60Hz with high resolution and sensitivity. A lightweight yet rugged waterproof camera housing makes the EZTherm XP suitable for any number of harsh environments. Featuring a high performance 320x240 uncooled focal plane array, the EZTherm XP offers a spectral response from 8 to 14μm and can measure temperatures between -40°C and 500° (2,000°C optional available) with a thermal sensitivity of less than 0.1°C.

A variety of in-camera analysis tools include multiple spot meters, auto hot/cold spot tracking, temperature alarm set point, area analysis and isotherms. Several different infrared objective lenses are available including wide-angle, telephoto and close-up lenses so that the user can optimize the scene presentation for the application. For added versatility, thermal images can be recorded in both 14-bit and JPEG formats and can be transferred effortlessly to PCs, utilizing industry-standard interfaces such as FireWire®, and USB 2.0. Highly advanced software packages for PdM report generation and real-time image recording and analysis are also featured. Weighing in at only 3.5 lb., EZTHERM XP is qualified to IP-54 (water resistant) and features a highly ergonomic camera housing. The camera's hand grip places all controls at the operator's finger tips and makes the camera comfortable to hold and easy to control.
