Micro Display Resolution
All thermal devices are fitted with a micro display in the eyepiece; the larger the viewfinder resolution, the greater the image detail.
Micro Display Technology
All micro displays found in Pulsar thermal imaging devices are either OLED or AMOLED, providing high contrast images and working effectively in temperatures down to -25oC.
Field of View
Usually quoted in degrees, a larger field of view allows for quick scanning of broad areas. The field of view usually decreases as magnification increases, assuming that only the focal length of the lens in the system is changing.
Image Processing Algorithms
This is a proprietary software that works to process the image and adjust settings in order to suit the environment, including changes to contrast, brightness, and amplification. Algorithms can be updated and significant advancements in image quality can be achieved through firmware updates.
Questions to Ask Yourself When Buying a Thermal Imaging Device:
1. What are you looking to detect?
2. What distance do you need to detect an object?
3. Which is more important; a wide field of view or greater magnification?
4. Is the device’s size and weight important?
5. What is your budget?
