At Dexter Research Center, the IR CORE AXT25C, an IR camera without optics, housing or certificate, is now fully in production. The 1064 pixels certainly cannot compete with Bolometer focal Plane arrays (FPAs), but intended for users who, for example, require comparatively inexpensive solutions for process measuring techniques, where not every pixel is so critical. The IR CORE provides the user with a video signal. The thermopile technology used is this classic infrared detector is durable, provides DC stability and is a proven technology spanning more than 10 decades.
