Image-processing in the near infrared spectrum is already well established in the photovoltaic industry where it is used in demanding optical inspection procedures that check solar cells for micro-cracks, which can occur during crystal growth and wafer sawing. But this technology has much more to offer and it is gaining in importance in other areas, as this article shows.
The Piranha HS NIR is the newest product in Teledyne DALSA’s High Sensitivity that provides a cost-effective solution for imaging in near-infrared wavelengths.
