New infrared wide-angle lens with environment-resistant coating for thermographic cameras

25 Apr 2013

The new Jenoptik 1.0 / 7.5 millimeter wide-angle lens has been specially designed for thermographic cameras of the current VarioCAM® HD and IR-TCM HD series. Its innovative hybrid DLC (“Diamond Like Carbon”) surface coating protects the high-quality optics when used under extreme ambient conditions.

Tough: Hybrid DLC surface coating.

Stationary IR-TCM thermographic cameras for industrial use, in particular, have to resist severe endurance tests because rough ambient conditions and process-related influences may affect camera and optics.

While people wear safety goggles to protect their eyes under such conditions, the infrared optics of the thermographic camera is protected by a newly developed coating. The new hybrid DLC coating combines the durability of a diamond coating with an improved transmission and multispectral functionality of a dielectric coating thus guaranteeing optimum reproduction. The lenses with our innovative coating technology are manufactured by the Optical Systems division of Jenoptik. Jenoptik, as your development and production partner, offers customized infrared lenses with hybrid DLC coating for military, civil and industrial purposes.
