Thermal imaging of microscopic targets has evolved over the past 20 years to the point where real time "true-temperature" mapping with 50 milliKelvin sensitivity and 2.75 �m spatial resolution is possible. Recently, the capability to study and evaluate high frequency transient pulses has been added. Infrared imaging methods provide unequaled ease and flexibility for … [Read more...]
Microthermal imaging in the infrared
John McDonald, Latigo Optics and Grant Albright EDO/Barnes Engineering Division Introduction Infrared imaging methods provide unequaled ease and flexibility forinvestigating micro-circuit temperatures. The researcher need only slide thecircuit under the objective lens and power it up in order to measure thetemperatures throughout the micro-circuit at once, precisely and … [Read more...]
