Understand Temperature at the Smallest Scale
Infrared microscopes take thermal imaging beyond the visible. Designed for applications where detail matters, these systems allow you to measure temperature on extremely small structures, down to just a few micrometres.
From electronics to advanced materials, Optris IR microscopes provide calibrated, real-time thermal data that supports faster development, better diagnostics, and more reliable outcomes.
Why Use Infrared Microscopes?
When working at the micro level, traditional measurement methods fall short. IR microscopes combine thermal imaging with precision optics to deliver:
- Non-contact temperature measurement on microscopic components
- High spatial resolution, resolving structures down to ~8 µm
- 2× magnification options for enhanced detail
- Clear thermal imaging beyond what optical microscopes can reveal
- Accurate radiometric data for every pixel in the image
This allows engineers and researchers to uncover temperature variations and behaviours that are otherwise invisible.
High-Precision Thermal Insight for Critical Applications
Optris IR microscopes are built for environments where accuracy and detail are essential.
Typical Applications
- Electronics and PCB inspection
- Semiconductor and chip-level analysis
- Materials science and R&D
- Failure analysis and diagnostics
- Quality control and validation
By capturing fine thermal distributions, these systems help identify hotspots, validate designs, and improve product reliability.
Built for Performance, Integration, and Analysis
Designed for real-world use, Optris IR microscopes combine high-performance optics with flexible integration and powerful software.
- High-resolution imaging using uncooled detector technology
- Stable, low-noise performance in lab and industrial environments
- Seamless integration into test setups and automated systems
- Advanced analysis with PIX Connect software
- SDK access for custom applications and automation
From lab testing to production environments, these systems are built to fit your workflow and scale with your needs.
Detect, Measure, and Understand at
Micro Scale
High thermal sensitivity allows you to detect even subtle temperature changes across microscopic surfaces, before they become problems.
- Identify early-stage faults before failure
- Analyse heat distribution across micro-components
- Verify thermal design performance
- Improve consistency in production environments
This level of insight supports smarter decisions across both development and manufacturing.
Accurate, Radiometric Data You Can Trust
Optris IR microscopes deliver fully radiometric imaging, so every pixel provides a true temperature value, not just a visual.
- Measure spots, lines, and areas with precision
- Track temperature changes over time
- Export data for reporting and compliance
- Ensure traceable, repeatable measurements
Your data is not just visible, it’s accurate, reliable, and ready to act on.
