Flir, famous for their thermal imaging cameras, has introduced a new camera designed specifically for education. The FLIR C2 is a full-featured, pocket-sized thermal camera. Affordable, lightweight and small it is the perfect tool for classroom use. FLIR C2 produces thermal images of 80 x 60 pixels. Temperatures can be read from each of the 4,800 pixels. Images can be stored inside the camera and recalled for camera analysis. Additionally, the C2 Education Kit includes software for real-time streaming and recording of thermal movies. Thermal images and movies can be replayed in the software for further analysis.
FLIR C2 is easy-to-use. A brilliant 3” intuitive touch screen with auto orientation allows easy and quick access to all camera functions. FLIR C2 also incorporates a visible camera. FLIR patented Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) overlays the thermal image with the visual image so that you get clear easy to understand thermal images.
MAKING SCIENCE PHENOMENA EASY TO UNDERSTAND
Many concepts that involve heat and heat transfer are very theoretical and not always easy for students to understand. A thermal imaging camera makes theory clearly visible making it easy for teachers to explain. A few concepts that can be easily visualized with a thermal imaging camera include:
• Thermal properties of materials and objects• Heat conduction, convection, & radiation
• Heat insulation
• Friction
• Energy transformation
• Phase change
FLIR Systems has collected examples of how thermal imaging can be used in the classroom. These include both student and teacher guidelines to assist teachers with conducting an experiment. For an overview of available experiments please consult Flir's website: www.flir.com/education.
