Passive digital night vision is now possible with Raptor’s Owl 640 N. With ultra-low readout noise (<18e-) and dark current, the Owl 640 N is the first, state-of-the-art SWIR camera with digital night vision capability. The sensor is 640 x 512 with 15μm square pixel pitch and offers visible SWIR wavelength coverage of 600-1700nm. It is temperature stabilized, ultra-compact and low power making it ideal for a range of Electro Optic systems.

When combined with air drying, shortwave-infrared can be used to detect active dental cavities. This is possible because active cavities are porous and hold more water, which affects the infrared measurements around the affected area as the tooth dries. (Image: Chang et al.)
Advances in sensors that capture images like real eyes, plus in the software and hardware to process them, are bringing a paradigm shift in imaging, finds Andrei Mihai
