Description
Ceres T Compact, high-resolution 1280 thermal imaging camera for thermography
The Ceres T 1280 thermal imaging camera is based upon the Dione 1280 OEM thermal imaging core with 1280×1024 pixels and 12 μm pixel pitch. The camera offers superior on-board thermographic performance (accuracy, stability) in the temperature range up to 400°C.
The Ceres T 1280 thermal imaging camera outputs full frame images at 60 Hz via either a CameraLink or GigE Vision interface.
The compact size, excellent thermographic stability and accuracy, and GenICam compliant interfacing allow for easy integration in demanding industrial thermography applications. The camera comes with four different HFOV (Horizontal Field-Of-View) options: 12, 16, 25 or 48 degrees.
The compact Ceres T 1280 thermal imaging camera find application in process monitoring, medical and scientific and advanced research.

Lenses
Our cameras are compatible with a wide variety of lenses.
We do not manufacture our own lenses, but instead offer a variety of third-party lenses that can be purchased directly from us. We guarantee compatibility for any lenses purchased directly from Xenics.
Cables & Power Supplies
Xenics develops flexible and modular cameras resulting in a wide variety of camera interfaces. All these interfaces require unique cabling which we keep in stock. Next to interface cables we also offer separate power supplies.
Cases
Xenics ships its infrared cameras all over the world in high-grade custom cases. As our infrared cameras have different sizes, we have several case-types in stock guaranteeing a tight fit. The cases are made of polypropylene which make them very sturdy. They are dustproof, watertight, stackable and can cope with temperatures between -40 °C and 80 °C. In addition they are equipped with an automatic air pressure compensation valve allowing us to ship the cameras all over the globe.
Most of our infrared cameras come with a standard hardshell case upon purchasing.
