PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwire - February 1, 2011) - FLIR Systems, Inc. (
The FLIR i3 is easy to use with a fully automatic design, focus-free lens, and 5 hour lithium-ion battery. Ergonomically lightweight by design, the rugged FLIR i3 infrared camera offers impressive infrared image quality with 2 percent thermal accuracy, < 0.15˚C thermal sensitivity, a large 2.8-inch color display, 60x60 pixel resolution, adjustable emissivity, three image palettes to add temperature detail, and a center-spot measurement mode. Unlike more expensive thermal imagers, the FLIR i3 stores up to 5,000 images in FLIR's patented radiometric JPEG format, which permits users to rely on only one image file for temperature analysis and reporting as well as for easy sharing via email.
"FLIR has long been committed to 'infrared everywhere' and this new FLIR i3 represents a significant milestone in attaining that goal," said Earl R. Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR. "Being able to develop such a feature rich camera at this price point shows the strength and scale of FLIR's commercial operating model."
