CERES
The Ceres series consists of long-wave infrared (LWIR) uncooled cameras based on a state-of-the-art microbolometer detector with a pixel pitch of 12 µm and has a NETD less than 50 mK (< 40 mK, available upon request). The Ceres GigE Vision cameras come with a standard PTP (Precision Time Protocol), ensuring synchronized operation in a multi-camera system.

Description
The Ceres series consists of long-wave infrared (LWIR) uncooled cameras based on a state-of-the-art microbolometer detector with a pixel pitch of 12 µm and has a NETD less than 50 mK (< 40 mK, available upon request). The Ceres V (for Vision) comes in a 640x480 resolution (Ceres V 640) or 1280x 1024 high resolution version (Ceres V 1280). The Ceres T (for Thermography) provides fast, stable and reproducible thermographic measurements. The Ceres T is also available in 640x480 or 1280x1024 resolution.
All Ceres thermal cameras come with a CameraLink or GigE Vision interface, allowing for straightforward integration in industrial thermal imaging systems. Flexible lens options and optical mounts are available. All Ceres cameras are equipped with a mechanical shutter for stable and optimum image quality.

IR software is not included for 16bitDV. Find out more: Software | Xenics
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 makes 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.
