Refresh Rate – A high refresh rate (such as 50Hz) is best when choosing a thermal imager. A high refresh rate will result in a smooth image when panning or tracking fast-moving objects.
Thermal Sensor Size – Similar to digital cameras, thermal sensors are measured in pixels; generally speaking, the bigger the sensor the better the picture, as a larger sensor can capture more detail. Pulsar thermal imagers use one of three different sized sensors with its own designation: XM models use a 320x240 thermal sensor, XQ models use a 384x288 thermal sensor, and XP and XG models use a 640x480 thermal sensor.
Why Thermal Imaging? 3
NETD – Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) is a measurement of the smallest temperature difference a thermal device can detect. The lower the value, the more sensitive the device becomes — performing better than a device with a greater NETD value in conditions that are challenging to thermal imagers such as cold, fog, and rain. A device’s NETD rating is an important indicator as to how well it will perform.
What do Thermal Imaging Device Specifications Mean?
Using infrared radiation and thermal energy, thermal imaging devices gather information about objects through a thermal sensor (microbolometer) attached to a special type of lens (usually made from Germanium), to formulate clear images of the observed objects. In general, thermal images are grayscale – with white representing heat, black representing colder regions (or vice versa), and various shades of grey indicating gradients of temperatures between the two. However, for improved identification and differing applications, newer thermal imaging cameras can now add colour to the images they produce — using colours such as orange, blue, yellow, red, and purple.
Thermal Sensor Pixel Pitch – This is the distance between the centre of the pixels. A smaller pixel pitch results in finer image quality and a physically smaller thermal sensor. However, a larger pixel offers more sensitivity. A sensor with a smaller pixel pitch will have a greater base magnification than a thermal imager with the same size lens and a greater pixel pitch. Pulsar XM & XG sensors have a 12µm pixel pitch, and XQ and XP sensors have a 17µm pixel pitch.
is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal imaging is an invaluable technology which works to highlight objects that would usually remain invisible in total darkness, daylight, and even in dense fog when thermal contrast is Whatlow.
Detection Range – Pulsar’s detection ranges are calculated according to Johnson’s criteria — a formula which defines the number of pixels that must be covered (3.6) to detect a man-sized object (1.8m high x 0.5m wide). Other parameters include recognition range, i.e. recognising the object is a human or vehicle, and identification range, i.e. identifying the type of car or whether the human is male or female.
Digital Zoom – All Pulsar thermal devices feature a digital zoom. As with all devices, zooming digitally will degrade the image, but products with a 12µm pixel pitch are less prone to degradation, as there is almost double the number of pixels in the same area as a 17µm pitch.
Algorithms
Lens Aperture – Just like in photography, a lower aperture value (such as f1.0) is best, capturing the greatest amount of heat and creating a high contrast, crisp image.
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.
Magnification – A device’s magnification is defined by the combination of a lens’s focal length, the size of a thermal sensor and pixel pitch, and viewfinder resolution. However, a larger magnification does not necessarily mean a greater detection range.
achieved through firmware updates. Questions to ask yourself when buying a thermal imager are: 1. What are you looking to detect? 2. What distance do you need to detect an object? 3. What is more important a wide field of view or magnification? 4. Are the size and weight important? 5. What is your budget? 4
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.
significant advancements
Focal Length – The focal length of the lens, in combination with the thermal sensor, dictates the base magnification of the device.
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 and 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. can and in image quality can be

Taking Thermal & Night Vision Outside of the UK. Thermal imaging and night vision products are strictly controlled by ITAR regulations and are subject to UK Government Export Licensing Regulations. Dependent on specification, a licence may need to be obtained prior to the export, even temporarily (e.g. holiday), from the UK. Additionally, some countries may be embargoed and no thermal imagers or night vision devices can be taken or exported to them. It is the responsibility of the exporter, whether it be a company or individual, to ensure that such a licence is obtained. Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
