IRLabs  0.3 macro lens 1x, 10x, 25x, 100x, LIO, SIL, and other magnification.
The world’s highest signal-to-noise ratio camera in our proprietary ULN Image Sensor
.
The proprietary InGaAs-based focal plane array (FPA) with unmatched signal-to-noise ratio, makes this the most sensitive Infrared Emission camera in the industry

Combined with our high numerical aperture near-IR optimized lenses, it allows you to detect and localize even the faintest emission sites indicative of defects faster and more accurately.

Lens
The highest optical quality in the industry.
Our lenses deliver unmatched precision in locating potential faults. 


Lens Slide, Motion System & Electronics Control Subsystems

IR:Labs high-speed, high-resolution, closed loop lens slide
Lens Slide
Four times faster and an order of magnitude better resolution. Get fast, repeatable performance without loss of region of interest (ROI) by upgrading your 2- or 3-position lens slide to a new high-speed, high-resolution, closed loop lens slide:
  • Now 100nm resolution.

  • "Pan from static" -- fast and accurate panning from static guide image.

  • Kinematically mounted sectors preserve offset value (parcentricity) accuracy for fast lens swaps and sector swaps.

  • Return to same ROI following lens swap for most consistent imaging and best reporting.

  • High-speed lens slide travel.

  • Ready for future SIL lens sector upgrade.

IRLabs Motion Control System
Motion Control System
Stage and Ultra-Precise Motion Control
This system uses an open-frame architecture and drives the moving mass at the center of gravity, minimizing residual vibration for rapid “in-position” settling. High resolution encoders allow for extremely small, controlled camera motions. In addition, the system features pneumatic vibration isolation with a low, well-damped resonant frequency, ensuring that vibrations are not transmitted to the DUT or camera. 
  • 8-axis for the highest in-position stability and lowest possible long-term drift.

  • Ultra-low parcentricity error for precise localization.

IRLabs Stage
X-Y-Z stage is specifically designed for production test measurement and inspection applications requiring transmitted illumination or center mounting of an imaging/sensing transducer.



     IRLabs Auxiliary Electronics
    Auxiliary Electronics
    Save time and improve quality for day-to-day repeatability with this power supply and motion controller for the Lens Slide:

    • High-speed, high-repeatability motion control for improved parcentricity.

    • Constant current sources for the illuminators to maintain image consistency for day-to-day repeatability and temporally stable illumination.

    • Full software control for selection of illuminators.


    AIRIS Software
    Our IREM-SIL is fully supported by AIRIS, our Advanced Infrared Emission Imaging Software.
