Thermal Camera Macro Lenses

The FLIR 2.0X Macro lens is compatible with the FLIR A400, A500, and A700 science kit cameras. It is included standard in the Professional kit configurations for all three models and available as an optional add-on for the Standard kits. These cameras use motorized one-shot autofocus, making macro mode deployment straightforward.

Yes. Thermal camera macro lenses are specifically designed for this application. The FLIR 2.0X Macro lens, combined with cameras like the A700 (640×480) or A500 (464×348), enables accurate temperature measurement of individual ICs, PCB traces, and solder joints with NETD as low as 30 mK and ±2°C measurement accuracy.

No. FLIR Macro Mode is designed to minimize lens changes. The motorized one-shot autofocus on the FLIR A400, A500, and A700 cameras allows you to switch between standard and macro imaging tasks with minimal interruption. The Professional kits include both the standard 24° lens and the 2.0X Macro lens for maximum flexibility.

Higher IR resolution delivers better thermal detail on small targets. The FLIR A700 (640×480) with its 12 µm detector pitch provides the finest spatial resolution among the A-series science kits and is ideal for PCB-level inspection. The A500 (464×348 at 17 µm) is a strong mid-range option, while the A400 (320×240 at 24 µm) suits less demanding component-level tasks.

Yes. Thermal camera macro lenses are well-suited for NDT applications including material defect detection, delamination analysis in composites, and electronic component failure investigation. The FLIR A-series science kits with macro lenses support lock-in thermography and flash thermography workflows when integrated with MoviTHERM's complete NDT systems.

All FLIR A400, A500, and A700 science kits include FLIR Research Studio software. This package provides a streamlined Connect→View→Record→Analyze workflow, supporting radiometric data streaming, post-processing, and collaborative analysis. The Professional kits add MSX® image enhancement and optional Wi-Fi streaming for greater flexibility in lab environments.
