The discontinued Prism-DS thermal infrared camera from FLIR Systems Inc. is legendary for its high sensitivity and amazing image quality that rivals new cameras costing tens of thousands of dollars. SPI maintains a limited supply of used Prism DS cameras for sale and rental.
The Prism DS is a high quality imager featuring an exotic PtSi (Platinum Scilicide Wikipedia)cooled infrared sensor operating in the 3.6-5 micron wavelength. This is truly the Ferrari of infrared cameras, capable of extreme imaging performance even though it is many years old. Many applications require mid wavelength thermal imaging performance and new cooled 3-5 micron cameras can cost $40,000 or more. While the Prism DS is now a discontinued model it represents a true value in low cost mid wavelength infrared imaging solution.
The Prism DS is ideally suited to a wide range of thermal infrared imaging applications including
SPI stocks and maintains a limited supply of these potent imaging systems. Contact us today to discuss rental and purchase options.
